3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is q1?
Show answer
Distinguish between genotype and phenotype, and explain why most human phenotypes cannot be predicted from a single gene. [3 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
A plant heterozygous for two unlinked genes (AaBbAaBb) is self-pollinated. State the expected phenotypic ratio and explain what a deviation to a 9:3:4 ratio would indicate. [3 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
In a cross, the expected ratio was 1:1 but the observed counts were 58 and 42 (total 100). Carry out a chi-squared test and state your conclusion. Critical value at p = 0.05, 1 degree of freedom = 3.841.
