In radishes, the gene that controls color exhibits INCOMPLETE dominance. Pure-breeding red radishes crossed with pure-breeding white radishes make purple radishes. What are the phenotypic ratios when you cross a purple radish with a white radish?
4 : 0
3 : 1
2 : 2
1 : 2 : 1
In purple people-eaters, one-horn is dominant and no horns is recessive. Cross two purple people-eaters that are heterozygous for horns. What are the genotypic & phenotypic ratios?
Gen = 1 : 2 : 1, Phen = 1 : 2 : 1
Gen = 1 : 2 : 1, Phen = 3 : 1
Gen = 3 : 1, Phen = 3 : 1
Gen = 2 : 2, Phen = 2 : 2
Crosses between a yellow rat and a yellow rat ALWAYS produce yellow rats. Crosses between a white rat and a white rat ALWAYS produce white rats. But crosses of a white with a yellow produce a cream rat. What type of inheritance patter is this?
Complete Dominance
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Multiple Alleles
Crosses between a yellow rat and a yellow rat ALWAYS produce yellow rats. Crosses between a white rat and a white rat ALWAYS produce white rats. But crosses of a white with a yellow produce a cream rat. What are the genotype and phenotype ratios if you cross two cream rats?
Gen = 1 : 2 : 1, Phen = 1 : 2 : 1
Gen = 1 : 2 : 1, Phen = 3 : 1
Gen = 2 : 2, Phen = 1 : 2 : 1
Gen = 1 : 2 : 1, Phen = 2 : 2
The mother has type A blood. Her husband has type B blood. Their child has type O blood. The father claims the child can’t be his. Is he right?
Yes
No
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disease of the blood. Since it's recessive, you need two copies of the sickle cell gene to show the disease. If instead you are a heterozygote you are a carrier (don't have the disease but can pass it onto your children). Let’s consider a situation where two carriers marry and have children. What is the possibility of having a child with sickle cell anemia?

In cows, red fur (CR) is codominant with white fur (CW). Show a cross between a red cow and a roan cow (CRCW). What would the phenotypic ratio be?

2 : 2
1 : 2 : 1
The genes for hemophilia are located on the X chromosome. It is a recessive disorder. What is the probability of having sons with hemophilia from a man normal for blood clotting and a woman who is a carrier? (HINT: You have to keep track of what sex the children are!)
