Incomplete and Codominance Practice

Coat color in mice is incompletely dominant. Yellow (YY) and white-colored (WW) mice are homozygous, while cream-colored mice are heterozygous. If two cream-colored mice mate, what phenotypic ratio can we expect of their offspring? (Y= yellow coat allele, W= white coat allele)

• 2 YY: 2 WW

• 1 YY: 2 YW: 1 WW

• 1 YY: 3 WW

• 2 YY: 1 YW: 1 WW

In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (W). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as pink.

Match the genotype with phenotype

• Pink flowers

• RR

• White flowers

• WW

• Red flowers

• RW

In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (W).

A pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant. Draw and fill out your Punnett square. What is the probability of producing a pink-flowered plant?

• 0%

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

Incomplete Dominance

In Andalusian fowls, black individuals (B) and white individuals (W) are homozygous. A homozygous black bird is crossed with a homozygous white bird. Draw the Punnett square. What fraction of the offspring would be heterozygous (displaying a phenotype of bluish feathers)?

• 0/4

• 1/4

• 2/4

• 3/4

• 4/4

Incomplete dominance

In Andalusian fowls, black individuals (B) and white individuals (W) are homozygous. Heterozygous birds show a blueish phenotype. If a black individual is crossed with a bluish-gray individual, what percent of the offspring would show black feathers?

In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette (black and white spotted). Match the following genotypes to their phenotypes

• Erminette (Black and white feathers)

• WW

• Black feathers

• BW

• White feathers

• BB

In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette (black and white spotted).

Two erminette chickens (BW) were crossed. What percent of their offspring would have black feathers?
