In snapdragons, Tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t). In a cross between two plants that are heterozygous for this trait, the percent of offspring expected to exhibit dwarfness is
a)
 25%
b)
100%
c)

11.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that is controlled by a recessive allele on chromosome 7 which is NOT a sex chromosome. If a person suffering from CF were to marry an individual who is heterozygous for the trait, what % of their children would be expected to unaffected carriers of the trait?

a)

0%

b)

25%

c)

50%

d)

75%

12.

This type of inheritance pattern shows BOTH alleles when an individual is heterozygous for the trait

a)
complete dominance
b)
incomplete dominance
c)
co-dominance
d)

sex-linked

13.

this image is an example of

a)

codominance

b)

simple dominant and recessive/Mendelian inheritance

c)

incomplete dominance

d)

sex-linked

14.

This is an example of ___________?

a)

Incomplete dominance

b)

Co-Dominance

c)

Multiple alleles because there is a blue allele and a yellow allele

d)

Sex-linked

15.

This info will help you for the last questions in this set:


When determining someone's blood type there are 3 different alleles IA, IB, and i. The dominant/I alleles completely mask the recessive i allele. The only way to have type O blood is to have the genotype ii. To have type A blood you can be IAIA or IAi. To have type B blood you can be IBIB or IBi. To have type AB blood you must have the genotype IAIB.


Because the IA and IB alleles are seen together/at the same time this inheritance pattern is

a)

incomplete dominance

b)

codominance

c)

simple dominant/recessive AKA Mendelian inheritance

16.

If two parents are heterozygous for type A blood (their genotypes are both IAi), what is the probability that their offspring would have type O blood?

a)

100 %

b)

75%

c)

50%

d)

25%

17.

If a father is IAIA and a mother is IAIB, what is the probability for a child with AB blood type?

a)

0%

b)

25%

c)

50%

d)

75%

18.
If two parents have type AB blood, what is the probability that their child will have type O blood?
a)
0%
b)
25%
c)
50%
d)
100%
19.

If one of your parents is blood type A (genotype IAi) and the other is type B (genotype IBi), which of the following blood types could you be?

a)

O

b)

AB

c)

A or B

d)

Any of these
