ACSI Science 6 - Chapter FOUR - Set B

Mating of two closely related animals is:

• dominance

• codominance

• inbreeding

• pedigree

What is the benefit of inbreeding?

• More people like the end result.

• The ability to magnify certain traits.

• The animals are so closely related.

A disadvantage of inbreeding is that more ___________ defects appearing in the phenotype because the animals were too closely related.

• blended

• genetic

• offspring

• observable

The observable characteristics that are expressed by the genes is the _________________.

• phenotype

• metaphase

• transmission

• inbreeding

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

In your own words, can you explain the difference between dominance, codominance, and incomplete dominance (along with an example of each)?

• Yes

• No

Are there any benefits of inbreeding?

• Yes, traits can be magnified.

• No, genetic defects are the only result.

Dominance completely masks a ____________ trait.

• dominant

• recessive

• codominant

• incomplete dominance

_________________ blends the appearance of the two phenotypes.

• dominant

• recessive

• codominant

• incomplete dominance

Codominance allows both alleles to appear ____________ in the phenotype.

• equally

• unequally
