Traits that break the rules by having no clearly dominant allele are
Non-Mendelian
Non-Newtonian
non-hereditary
Pink color in snapdragon flowers are a result of
incomplete dominance of red and white alleles
a missing allele
codominance of pink and red alleles
When two traits are equally dominant, we call this
incomplete dominance
independent dominance
codominance
A trait determined by many genes is
photogenic
polygenic
Human traits that are polygenic include (check all that apply)
a cleft chin
height
skin tone
widow's peak hairline
Epistasis is when
an organism is missing a gene
an organism has extra genes
one gene depends on another gene to be expressed
In a species of goat, white and brown are codominant. One parent is solid white and the other parent is solid brown. What is the predicted phenotype of their offspring? Sketch a Punnett square to find the answer.
25% white, 25% brown, 50% white & brown
50% white, 50% brown
100% white & brown
