There are multiple alleles for the ABO blood group. Why are only two of these alleles present in any one individual?

• Each parent contributes only one allele for the ABO blood group to the offspring.

• There are not enough nucleotides in a red blood cell to produce a third allele.

• Each allele in the ABO group must be dominant or recessive

• Blood group alleles are not segregated during meiosis.

Skin colour, height, hair colour, and eye colour are human traits that show high variations--these traits demonstrate

• incomplete dominance

• codominance

• multiple alleles

• polygenic inheritance

A trait is varies in rabbits more than classic Mendelian dominance, or non-Mendel dominances. This trait is controled by ONE gene having four alleles in the population, but only two are inherited. This demonstrates the pattern of inheritance with

• gene variations

• codominance

• polygenic epistasis

• multiple alleles

A circumstance where the expression of a trait is affected by the expression of one or more independently inherited genes--it either obliterates the trait or modifies it.

• codominance

• epistasis

• epitome

• enzyme

Human height is controlled by many genes, at least 5. Another gene, D, controls achondroplasia dwarfism which is dominant if heterozygous (DD is a lethality). This gene is ___ to height.

• epistatic

• codominant

• multiple allelic

• incompletely dominant
