The neurotransmitter _______ is found in nuclei of the basal forebrain.

What are some of the reasons behind Mendel choosing pea plants as his model system? You need at least three reasons for full credit.

If researchers wanted to know which brain region(s) is/are active when a person is listening to music, the imaging technique that would be most appropriate is

You start with a true breeding blue flower and a true breeding yellow flower. You cross the two and observe the the F1 offspring. All of them have yellow flowers. What is the dominant PHENOTYPE in this cross?

Which of the following doesn’t agree with the chromosomal theory of inheritance?

You start with a true breeding blue flower and a true breeding yellow flower. You cross the two and observe the the F1 offspring. All of them have blue flowers with yellow stripes. What is the dominant PHENOTYPE in this cross?

In a pedigree chart, the picture below indicates which of the following:

The idea that for any particular trait, the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele from each parent passes to an offspring is Mendel’s principle of:

In purple people eaters, one horn (H) is dominant and no horns (h) is recessive. Complete the Punnett square to show the cross of two heterozygous purple people eaters.  Write the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring (ie. Genotype= 1YY, 2Yy, 1yy Phenotype= 3 Yellow Flowers, 1 White Flower). Genotypes: [1] Phenotypes: [2]

What are the gamete combinations for a female who is heterozygous dominant for the ability to roll her tongue (Tongue rolling (R) is a dominant trait) and is heterozygous for a hitchhiker’s thumb (Hitchhiker’s thumb (H) is dominant)? Hint: There are four combinations. 1: [1] 2: [2] 3: [3] 4: [4]
