This type of inheritance pattern shows BOTH traits in possible offspring

• complete dominance

• incomplete dominance

• co-dominance

• dominant pattern

What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together? 

• Incomplete Dominance

• Co-Dominance

• Mendelian Inheritance

• Homozygous Inheritance

A calico cat shows both the traits for orange fur and black fur. What kind of allele expression is this?

• Incomplete Dominance

• Co dominance

• Independent assortment

• Recessive inheritance

A red flowered plant (RR) breeds with a White flowered plant (WW). The gene for petal color in these plants expresses incomplete dominance.  What percentage of the offspring will have pink (RW) flowers?

• 0%

• 25%

• 50%

• 100%
