Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 14 Mendel and the Gene Idea The questions in Chapter 14 are mostly at the Application/Analysis skill level. The material in the chapter invites students to apply Mendel?s laws, and by doing so encourages problem solving. Because of the human-related Concept 14.4, a fair number of Synthesis/Evaluation questions are included as well. Very little of the chapter lends itself to Knowledge/Comprehension questions only. In addition, to help students make maximum use of information presented about one or more specific traits, a greater number of questions than usual is grouped together to explore brief scenarios or figures. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) What do we mean when we use the terms monohybrid cross and dihybrid cross?

Eugenics ? Traits Studied Charles Davenport was the director of three institutions based at Cold Spring Harbor ? the ERO, the Biological Laboratory, and the Carnegie Institute of Washington?s Station for Experimental Evolution He noted in his 1909 Annual Report that the inability to conduct controlled experiments ruled out human genetics as a suitable topic for the Station for Experimental Evolution He and his wife published 4 papers between 1907 and 1910 that applied Mendelian principles to the human inheritance of eye color, hair color, hair texture and pigmentation The paper on skin pigmentation made the first reference to polygenic inheritance ? a trait influenced by two or more genes The eye color paper relied on data supplied by ?school principals and other friends?
