1.

Chicken feathers are inherited through codominance. When a black chicken BB is mated with a white chicken WW, the resulting phenotype is called erminette/checkered BW.   

What are the phenotypes if a checkered /erminette chicken is mated with a black feathered chicken.

a)

Black: 50%

White: 0%

Checkered: 50%

b)

Black: 0%

White: 50%

Checkered: 50%

c)

Black: 50%

White: 0%

Grey: 50%

d)

Black: 50%

White: 50%

Checkered 50%

Chicken feathers are inherited through codominance. When a black chicken BB is mated with a white chicken WW, the resulting phenotype is called erminette/checkered BW.   

What are the genotypes if a checkered /erminette chicken is mated with a black feathered chicken.

a)

BB: 50%

WW: 0%

BW 50%

b)

BB: 0%

WW: 50%

BW: 50%

c)

BB: 50%

Bb: 0%

bb: 50%

d)

BB: 50%

WW: 50%

BW: 50%

3.

Chicken feathers are inherited through codominance. When a black chicken BB is mated with a white chicken WW, the resulting phenotype is called erminette BW.  

 

If two checkered/erminette chickens are crossed what are the chances of a checkered chicken?

a)

50%

b)

25%

c)

75%

d)

100%

4.

Cat fur color is determined by codominance. The allele for tan fur (TT) and the allele for black fur (BB) are codominant. The heterozygous condition (TB) results in a cat with tan and black spots, called a tabby cat. 

If a tan cat was crossed with a tabby cat what are the chances of a tan cat? What are the chances of a black cat?

a)

50%, 50%

b)

50%, 0%

c)

100%, 75%

d)

25%, 25%

6.

Sickle cell anemia is a trait that exhibits codominance. A person with an AA genotype does not have sickle cell anemia, and a person with an SS genotype has full sickle cell anemia. A person with an AS genotype will have some sickle-cells, though s/he might show minimal or no symptoms (a “carrier”). 

Englebert is a carrier for sickle-cell anemia (shows minimal symptoms), and his wife, Gwendoline, does not have it. What are the chances that Engelbert and Gwendoline will have a child with ANY sickle-shaped blood cells?

a)

50%

b)

25%

c)

100%

d)

75%
