Types of Inheritance

Front

What is incomplete dominance?

Back

A genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a phenotype that is a blend of the two traits.

Front

What color flowers result from crossing a red flower (RR) with a white flower (WW) in incomplete dominance?

Back

Pink (RW) flowers.

Front

What is codominance?

Back

A genetic scenario where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that shows both traits.

Front

What color fur does a calico cat have?

Back

A calico cat has both orange and black fur due to codominance.

Front

What is the probability of producing a white cow (WW) from a roan bull (RW) and a red cow (RR)?

Back

0%.

Front

What is the definition of a dominant allele?

Back

An allele that expresses its phenotype even in the presence of a recessive allele.

Front

Which genotypes are considered dominant?

Back

Both AA and Aa.

Front

What is the phenotype of heterozygous chickens (black and white feather alleles) due to codominance?

Back

Speckled black and white feathers.

Front

What is the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance?

Back

In codominance, both traits are fully expressed, while in incomplete dominance, the traits blend.

Front

What is the genotype of a homozygous dominant individual?

Back

AA.
