Multiple Choice

How many copies of the allele is needed for the trait to show?

• One

• Two

• None

• Three

Multiple Select

Using the table here, if a cow only had the dominant phenotypes, what traits would be shown? Select all that apply.

• No horns

• Horns

• White Face

Multiple Select

Individual cows who do not show phenotypes related to recessive traits could have what types of genotypes? Select all that could be true.

• homozygous dominant (AA)
  

• heterozygous (Aa)

• homozygous recessive (aa)

Multiple Choice

If the "A" represents red flowers and "a" represents green flowers, what are the chances of the flowers being green?

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

Multiple Choice

What percentage will of the pea pods will be yellow?

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

Draw

Cross the two parent cats and determine the percent chance the offspring will have a long tail.

1) Draw the alleles in each box of the Punnett Square.

2) CIRCLE the percentage that the offspring will have a long tail.

Cat fur color is a combination of many genes and cannot be calculated with one Punnett square. Cat fur length, however, is a one gene inherited trait where short hair (L) is dominant to long hair (l).

Based on the facts above, why are most stray cats short hair cats, but a variety of colors?

Based on the facts above, can two long hair cats have short hair kittens? Why or why not?
