Figure Review

This is an on-line version of the green Figure Review questions and exercises included with many of the figures in your textbook. Each question includes the figure number from the book to help you complete the requested task. Use this version to quickly and easily submit your work to your instructor or teaching assistant.

1.
Figure 10.3
What is the purpose of a reciprocal cross?
To create paragraphs in your essay response, type at the beginning of the paragraph, and at the end.

2.
Figure 10.4
What types of gametes will be produced by the F₁ individuals in this experiment?
To create paragraphs in your essay response, type at the beginning of the paragraph, and at the end.

3.
Figure 10.6
What is the difference between genes and alleles; a genotype and a phenotype; a homozygous versus heterozygous individual; and dominant and recessive alleles?
To create paragraphs in your essay response, type at the beginning of the paragraph, and at the end.

4.
Figure 10.12
On the figure in your textbook (page 206), label the phenotype that is considered wild type. Label the phenotype that is a rare mutant. What is the historic significance of the mutation illustrated here?
To create paragraphs in your essay response, type at the beginning of the paragraph, and at the end.

5.
Figure 10.14
Beside this figure in your textbook (page 207), make a Punnett square that summarizes a mating between the F₁ females and males in figure 10.14b.
To create paragraphs in your essay response, type at the beginning of the paragraph, and at the end.

6.
Figure 10.19
The shortest student in the photo is 4 ft. 10 in. (147 cm) and the tallest is 6 ft. 2 in. (188 cm). How would a histogram of men or women in your class compare to the distribution shown here?
To create paragraphs in your essay response, type at the beginning of the paragraph, and at the end.

7.
Figure 10.20
Confirm that the distribution of genotypes shown here is correct by drawing a Punnett square based on the gametes produced by the F₁ parents and then filling in the F₂ offspring genotypes that result. (The square will be 8 x 8, and have 64 boxes!) Is it practical to use the Punnett square method for complicated crosses? Propose a more practical method. [Hint]
To create paragraphs in your essay response, type at the beginning of the paragraph, and at the end.
