A species of plant produces different colors of flowers. Red, blue and purple. When the genes of the flowers are studied, the Red flowers have a RR genotype, the Blue flowers have a BB genotype, and the Purple flowers have a RB genotype. What pattern of inheritance does this follow?
Mendelian
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Sex-Linked
A species of plant produces different colors of flowers. Red, blue and red/blue striped. When the genes of the flowers are studied, the Red flowers have a RR genotype, the Blue flowers have a BB genotype, and the Red and Blue striped flowers have a RB genotype. What pattern of inheritance does this follow?
Mendelian
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Sex-Linked
In humans, some traits are carried on the X chromosome. What pattern of inheritance is this?
Mendelian
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Sex-Linked
In pea plants, Purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. In a heterozygous individual, the flower is purple. The only way a flower can be white is if it has the 2 recessive alleles. What pattern of inheritance does this follow?
Mendelian
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Sex-Linked

Select the Punnett square below that shows a trait following a pattern of SEX-LINKED INHERITANCE.
