Whitney has two koalas. One has fluffy ears and one has non-fluffy ears. She breeds them together. They make one baby with fluffy ears. Which trait is dominant?
Fluffy ears is dominant
Non-fluffy ears is dominant
Fluffy and non-fluffy are incompletely dominant
There's not enough information to decide
Cam has a tortie cat. It has splotches of both red and black. The red allele and black allele that this cat has is...
Red is dominant to black
Incompletely dominant
Codominant
Black is dominant to red
Elodie and Aaron are playing tennis when they accidentally knock a baby bird out of its nest with their tennis ball. If the momma bird is yellow and the dad bird red, what color should the baby bird be if yellow and red are incompletely dominant?
Orange
Yellow
Red
Both red and yellow splotches
Pheonix is studying salamanders. He observers that stripes is dominant to no-stripes in salamanders. Which of the following probabilities is impossible for if a striped salamander was to mate with a no-stripe?
75% no-stripe
25% stripe
100% stripes
50% stripes
50% no stripes
Queen Victoria's son, Phillip, has hemophilia. So she blames her husband for this X-linked disorder that Phillip has. What is wrong with Victoria's logic?
Males get their X from their mom
We don't know for sure if the father had hemophilia
She's right, the father gave Phil the disease
Hemophilia is actually really easy to confuse with albinism, so maybe he has that actually
50% teal
25% teal
50% purplish teal
25% teal
Celena and Haylee are studying fruit flies in a laboratory. They notices that only male fruit flies have red eyes, with females only having it rarely. What kind of trait is this, probably?
X-linked
Y-linked
Normal autosomal
Q-linked
Kaleb and Zach have decided to dedicate themselves to raising llamas. They move to Peru together. Gray (G) llama fur is worth a lot more money than white (g) llama fur, but all they have is gray llamas. Which genotypes should they bred so they can get some white llamas?
Gg x Gg
GG x Gg
GG x GG
There's no way to get white llamas from gray llamas
Angelina discovers a rare black-and-red spider crawling on Haleigh Jo. If black and red are codominant on this spider, which of the following would be the best way to write this genotype, especially if we're also dealing with other spider genes too?
CBCR
Bb
BBRR
Rr
blonde>red in humans
Kavi has accidentally stabbed Stanley (whoops!). Stanley can only receive blood from O-type blood. Who should he accept blood from?
McKenna, who's IAIB
Kathryn, who's IAi
Jolie, who's ii
He could get blood from Kathryn or Jolie
If sleepiness is a Mendelian style dominant trait and Justin is sleepy, yet one of his parents was not sleepy, what would be Justin's genotype?
Heterozygous
Homozygous dominant for sleepy
Homozygous recessive for sleepy
Not enough information to determine
Tim's brand new penguin is heterozygous yet expresses only its yellow eye allele. What is his penguin's phenotype?
Ee
ee
Yellow eyes
EE
Ainsley shows her friends her new pet, a scorpion. The scorpion has a recessive trait - black spots. Which of the following is the genotype for her scorpion's black spot gene?
Black spots
No black spots
Bb
bb
Marit owns a black cat and Anya owns a red cat. These two cats bred together and produce five red male cats. If the black & red alleles are X-linked, what cat was the mother?
Anya's red cat
Marit's black cat
X-linked genes don't require a mother
Both, as they both contribute an X to the sons
If the allele for red feet and the allele for blue feet are incompletely dominant in blue footed boobies, what would be the probability ratio for two purple boobies mating?
25% red / 50% purple / 25% blue
100% purple
50% red / 50% blue
33% red / 33% purple / 33% blue
12.5% red / 75% purple / 12.5% blue
Assume being evil is a recessive X-linked disorder. What can we assume about Scar's (an evil lion) children? Select all that are true.
The boys cannot inherit evil from Scar
All of the girls will at least be carriers for evil
All of the girls will be evil
50% of the male offspring will be evil
Let's say you're looking at a pedigree tracking a genetic disease across several generations. What can clue you in that this pedigree is showing an X-linked recessive disorder? (Select all that apply)
Way more guys have the disease than girls
There are no male carriers
There are no female carriers
All females have three copies of the allele
Tasting PTC is dominant to not tasting PTC. Two tasters have babies. One of their eight offspring cannot taste PTC. What can we assume about the couple?
Both parents must be heterozygous.
Both parents must be homozygous dominant.
Both parents must be homozygous recessive.
One parent is heterozygous and the other is homozygous.
Full color is dominant to dilute in cats. A test cross is performed to find out if a full color cat is DD or Dd. If two out of the three offspring from the test cross are dilute, what can we conclude?
The full color cat must be Dd
The full color cat must be DD
The full color cat must be dd
We cannot make any conclusions
My cat Piper is a Siamese cat. Siamese, or "pointing," is caused by an allele found on the colorpointing (C) gene. What is my cat's phenotype?
cc
cScS
Siamese
Piper
A nurse is trying to figure out which baby in the nursery belongs to a blood type-O mother (ii) whose husband has blood-type A (IAi)?
Baby 1 with genotype of IAi
Baby 2 with genotype of ii
Baby 3 with genotype of IAIA
Uh oh... both baby 1 and baby 2 could be their's.
A blood type AB (IAIB) person has children with a blood type O (ii) person. What phenotypes are possible in the children?
Only type O
Type AB, A, B, and O
Type AB and O
Type A and B
Type A, B, and O
