11. In a pea plant, axial flower position is dominant over terminal flower position. What genotype and phenotype ratios will result if a heterozygous axial pea plant is crossed with a pea plant with terminal flowers? (Show work)

12. During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up at the equator of a cell.

A) Diagram this in a cell with four chromosomes.

B) Label: chromosome, chromatid, spindle fiber, pole, centromere, tetrad

C) Explain what happens next.

13. Look at the diagram below of Polygenic Inheritance Parakeets.

·  Draw a diagram how a blue and a yellow parakeet may produce a yellow parakeet. Be sure to show which gametes are used from each parakeet to produce a green parakeet.
