Suppose that in sheep, a dominant allele (B) produce black hair and a recessive allele (b) produce white hair. If you saw a black sheep, you would be able to identify

• its phenotype for hair color
• its genotype for hair color
• the genotype of only one of its parents
• the phenotype of both of its parents

One of the main reasons genes assort independent of one another  is that 

• they produce unrelated traits
• they produce related traits
• they are on the same chromosome
• they are on different chromosomes.

A single gene has 3 or more alternative forms. These are called

• heterozygotes
• multiple alleles
• epistatic
• polygenic

A child has type O blood, if mother has type A blood, what would the fathers blood type be

• A,B, or O
• AB or A
• AB or B
• O only

If a female was a carrier for sex-linked color blindness, what percentage of her male children would also be color blind?

• 0%
• 25%
• 50%
• 100%

In a sex-linked inheritance pedigree you would expect to see

• more affected females
• all carrier males
• more affected males
• an equal number of affected males and females

• all his daughters
• all his sons
• 1/2 of his daughters
• 1/2 of his sons
