Froggy Jumps Genetics Essentials QuizOnline version Test your genetics knowledge basics. by Lillian Schwartz 1 What is complementation in genetics asking in a dihybrid cross? a Two recessive mutations are in different genes and can restore the trait b Two dominant alleles cancel each other, restoring the trait c Mutations in the same gene always complement each other 2 Which statement describes epistasis? a Epistasis only occurs in RNA genes b Homozygosity for a recessive allele in one gene masks another gene's phenotype c A gene enhances the expression of a second gene 3 Haploinsufficiency means one wild-type copy is enough to function. a True b False c Depends on the gene 4 In incomplete penetrance, not all individuals with the genotype show the phenotype. a It means the phenotype is always expressed b True c False 5 Which pattern describes codominance as in blood type? a Neither allele influences the trait b Only one allele is expressed c Both alleles contribute to the phenotype 6 In a dihybrid cross with modified ratios, which result is common? a 9:3:3:1 exactly b No variation from standard ratios c Non-Mendelian ratios due to gene interactions 7 What does pleiotropy refer to? a Multiple genes affecting one trait b A single gene affecting multiple traits c One trait affected by many genes only 8 Which term refers to a trait expressed in only one sex or sex-influenced? a Autosomal trait b X-linked only c Sex-limited or sex-influenced 9 Which concept explains a continuous range of phenotypes from additive genes? a Polygenic inheritance / multiple-factor hypothesis b Mendelian 3:1 ratio in all cases c Single-gene inheritance 10 What is the typical effect of a recessive lethal allele in a cross? a It can skew observed ratios due to early death b It always disappears in offspring c It accelerates phenotype expression in adults 11 What is the maternal effect? a Offspring phenotype under control of mother's nuclear gene products present in egg. b Only the egg contributes any genetic characteristics c The mother is not involved in contributing to the characteristics of the offspring. 12 Which is NOT an example of extranuclear inheritance a Maternal effect b Organelle heredity c Variable expressivity 13 What is extranuclear inheritance? a Inheritance patterns which vary from traditional biparental inheritance of nuclear genes. b Environmental impacts on gene expression. c Degree to which a trait is expressed. 14 What is a sex-limited trait? a An allele is dominant in one trait but recessive in another. b Traits that occur in only one of the two sexes. c Traits determined by x-linked inheritance pattern.

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
