• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together? 

• Incomplete Dominance
• Co-Dominance
• Mendelian Inheritance
• Homozygous Inheritance

A calico cat shows both the traits for orange fur and black fur. What kind of allele expression is this?

• Incomplete Dominance
• Co dominance
• Independent assortment
• Recessive inheritance

A roan cow shows co-dominance in fur color (red and white). What is the phenotype ratio expected if a roan cow (RW) and a roan steer (RW) mate together?

• 4: Red and White
• 1: Red : 1 White
• 2 Red: 2 Red and White: 0 White
• 1: =Red: 2 =Red and White: 1 White

How are Incomplete Dominance and Co Dominance different than a normal Mendelian cross?

• There is no difference
• The heterozygous genotype has a unique phenotype
• There is no heterozygous genotype
• There is only one phenotype regardless of genotype.

The different forms of a gene are called

• traits
• pollinators
• alleles
• hybrids

A breed of chicken shows codominance for feather color. One allele codes for black feathers, another codes for white feathers. The feathers of heterozygous chickens of this breed will be:

• all black
• all white
• all gray
• speckled black and white

What does heterozygous mean?

• An organism that has the same alleles for a trait (TT or tt)
• An organism that has different alleles for a trait (Tt)
• When neither gene is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
• the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red

An allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present.

• hidden allele
• dominant allele
• recessive allele
• present allele

having two of the same genes for the trait (sometimes called purebred).

• homozygous
• hetrozygous
• protein
• chromosome
