Genetics Vocabulary Day 3

Albinism is a recessive condition in which an individual produces little to no pigment. The dominant trait is to have normal coloring.

What's the genotype for albinism?

• nn

• NN or Nn

• Albino

• aa

• Aa or aa

Albinism is a recessive condition in which an individual produces little to no pigment.

What's the phenotype?

• aa

• AA

• Albino

A man and woman both have freckles and they are both heterozygous for the trait.

What are their genotypes?

What are their phenotypes?

• ff

• FF

• Freckles

• Ff

A man and woman both have freckles and they are both heterozygous for the trait.

Do they express the dominant or recessive trait?

• Dominant

• Recessive

In wildcats, the allele for striped tails is dominant to the allele for non-striped tails. What is the dominant trait?

• Striped tails

• Non-striped tails

In wildcats, the allele for striped tails is dominant to the allele for non-striped tails. If striped tails are dominant what genotypes should you choose to represent this trait?

• Nn and nn (N for non-striped)

• TT, and Tt (T for tails)

• SS and Ss (S for striped)

In wildcats, the allele for striped tails is dominant to the allele for non-striped tails. What would the recessive genotype be?

• nn (N for non-striped)

• tt (T for tails)

• ss (S for striped)

In wildcats, the allele for striped tails is dominant to the allele for non-striped tails. What is the phenotype for the picture shown?

• Striped tail

• tt (T for tails)

• ss (S for striped)

• Non-striped tail

Albinism is a recessive condition in which an individual produces little to no pigment. The dominant trait is to have normal coloring.

What's the genotype for the dominant coloring?
