Bio II Variation & Genetics

The document consists of a series of multiple-choice questions related to genetics, focusing on Mendelian principles, inheritance patterns, and genetic terminology. It covers topics such as dominant and recessive traits, blood group inheritance, sex determination, and genetic ratios. The questions are designed to test knowledge on fundamental concepts in genetics and Mendel's experiments.
