Environmental factors affect only the ____________ of an individual.
Phenotype
Genotype
Physical appearance of an organism, regardless of its genes.
What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together? Example: A red flower crossed with a white flower will make a pink flower.
In some carnations, flower color exhibits codominance. When crosses, Red (R) and white (W) flowers make speckled flowers (RW) that show both colors.
Complete a cross between 2 speckled flowers and find the genotype proportions.
