the formation of a zygote
In complete dominance a dominant allele __________.
will not be seen
is always displayed or expressed
can be recessive
is shown using lower-case letters
Punnett squares __________.
show that offspring get the majority of their traits from one parent
show the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring

Both B & C
If you crossed a homozygous red and a homozygous white flower, what color flowers would you expect to see for their offspring if the gene controlling flower color was operating by incomplete dominance?
Red flowers and white flowers only
flowers with areas of red and areas of white, white flowers, and red flowers.
Pink flowers only
pink flowers, red flowers, and white flowers.
If you crossed a black-fur dog and a white-fur dog and got puppies with both black and white spots, you could assume that the cross showed what type of dominance?
incomplete dominance
codominance
sex-linked dominance
complete dominance
We want to figure out if a particular fish’s color displays codominance or incomplete dominance. So, we cross a homozygous red fish “R” with a homozygous blue fish “B”. If the fish’s offspring are purple, then __________.
It has to be codominance
It has to be incomplete dominance
It is not codominance or incomplete dominance because one allele is dominant and the other is recessive
It can be incomplete dominance or codominance
We want to figure out if a particular fish’s color displays codominance or incomplete dominance. So, we cross a homozygous red fish “R” with a homozygous blue fish “B”. If the fish’s offspring show areas of red and areas of blue then __________.
It has to be codominance
It has to be incomplete dominance
It is not codominance or incomplete dominance because one allele is dominant and the other is recessive
It can be incomplete dominance or codominance
We want to figure out if a particular fish’s color displays codominance or incomplete dominance. So, we cross a homozygous red fish “R” with a homozygous blue fish “B”. If all of the offspring are blue or all of the offspring are red then __________.
It has to be codominance
It has to be incomplete dominance
It is not codominance or incomplete dominance because one allele is dominant and the other is recessive
Not enough information is given to determine what it is
In humans, blood types are controlled by three alleles, A and B are codominant and o is recessive. A woman with blood type A has a child with a man who has blood type A as well. Which of the following would not be a possible phenotype of their child?
Type A
Type AB
Type O
