Genetics Problem Sets
Introduction:
How do organisms come to look and act the way they do? How are characteristics passed from
generation to generation? Genetics, the study of inheritance, attempts to answer these and other
questions. Through the genetics problems presented in this packet we will investigate several
simple forms of inheritance. While completing genetics problems, you will be asked to carry out
step-by-step method which will include reading the problem, interpreting the information given,
setting up a "Key", “working the crosses”, and finally presenting and interpreting the results of
the crosses.
In order to readily converse in the language of heredity you will first need to know and

notes or your Biology Textbook (Chapter 11) for help.
