In pea plants, a tall plant is crossed with a short plant. 100% of the offspring are tall. Which best describes the allele for tall?
Dominant
Recessive
In pea plants, a purple flowered plant is crossed with a white flowered plant. The phenotypic ratio of offspring is: 50% purple and 50% white. Which mode of inheritance does the gene for flower color follow?
complete dominance
incomplete dominance
codominance
In pea plants, the gene for pea pod color shows complete dominance. If two heterozygous parents are crossed, what is the expected phenotypic ratio?
1:0
1:1
3:1
0:1
In pea plants, tall (A) is dominant to short (a). Also, purple flowers (B) are dominant to white flowers (b)? Which is (are) the genotype(s) of a plant is that tall with white flowers? Select all that apply.

In snapdragons, flower color exhibits incomplete dominance. When crossed, red (RR) and white (R'R') flowers make pink flowers (RR'). Complete a cross between a pink flower and a red flower. Find the phenotype ratio.
1 red: 1 pink
4 red: 0 pink
4 pink: 0 white
1 pink: 1 white
In some chickens, feather color shows incomplete dominance. If a black chicken (bb) is mated with one that is blue (bb'), what is the probability of having a chicken that is black?

1/2
3/4
100%
