Alleles for the A and B blood cell antigens are co-dominant. The condition where no antigens are present on the blood cells (type O blood) is a recessive trait. Which set of parents can most likely produce a child with type AB blood?
One parent with homozygous type A blood and the other parent with homozygous type B blood
One parent with type AB blood and the other parent with type O blood
One parent with type B blood and the other parent with type B blood
One parent with type A blood and the other parent with type A blood
Which of the following genotypes represents a trait that carries homozygous alleles?
CC
Cc
CcTt
A cross between a purebred animal with red hairs and a purebred animal with white hairs produces an animal that has pink hairs. What type of inheritance pattern is involved?

Multiple Alleles
Hitchhiker's thumb (H) is dominant to no hitchhiker's thumb (h). A woman who is heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb marries a man who is heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb. What is the probable genotypic ratio of their children? (Be sure to simplify the ratio)

Which of Mendel's laws states that alleles are distributed to gametes independent of one another?
Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Which of Mendel's laws states that alleles are separated during meiosis?
Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of segregation states:
the two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis
the two alleles for each trait separate during mitosis
a random distribution of alleles occur during gamete formation
a ordered distribution of alleles occur during gamete formation
Law of independent assortment states:
the two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis
the two alleles for each trait separate during mitosis
a random distribution of alleles occur during gamete formation
a ordered distribution of alleles occur during gamete formation
New combinations of chromosomes are produced through:
crossing over
independent assortment
random fertilization

after mating with a white guinea pig, 12 black guinea pigs were produced
after mating with a black guinea pig, 4 black guinea pigs were produced
