When red snapdragons are crossed with white snapdragons, the offspring produce pink flowers. This is an example of:
complete dominance
incomplete dominance
codominance
polygenic inheritance
multiple alleles
When red cows are crossed with white cow, the offspring have a mix of red hair and white hair. These cows are called roan. This is an example of:
complete dominance
incomplete dominance
codominance
polygenic inheritance
multiple alleles
In humans, the gene for curly hair (H) is incompletely dominant to the gene for straight hair (h). Individuals that are heterozygous (Hh) have wavy hair.
Two wavy-haired heterozygous parents have a child.
What is the likeliness that the child will have wavy hair?
1/4

(Mix of white spots and red spots)
You have two flowers. The purple allele (P) is dominant over the white allele (p).
You breed a homozygous dominant flower (PP) with a homozygous recessive flower (pp).
What color will the offspring be?
All purple
All white
All pink
Half purple, half white.
You have two flowers. The red allele shows incomplete dominance over the white allele.
You breed a red flower (RR) with a white flower (rr).
What do you think the offspring will look like?
All red
All white
All pink
Half red, half white.
Red hair (R) and white hair (W) are codominant in cows. They produce a cow with both red and white spots, called "roan", when mixed.
