Incomplete dominance

b)

Codominance

c)

Sex-linked inheritance

d)

Multiple alleles without dominance

144.

When parental traits blend (for example, straight and curly hair producing wavy hair), which pattern is demonstrated?

Incomplete dominance

b)

Codominance

c)

d)

Polygenic inheritance

145.

a)

Codominance

b)

Incomplete dominance

c)

d)

Sex-linked inheritance

146.

Both alleles for a trait are fully and separately expressed in the phenotype.

b)

One allele masks the expression of another completely.

c)

Traits blend into a single intermediate form.

d)

The trait is influenced by multiple genes and the environment.

147.

What features of spores help mosses spread widely?

a)

They are lightweight and produced in large numbers, allowing wind or water dispersal.

b)

They are heavy and remain near the parent plant.

c)

They require animal digestion to germinate.

d)

They must fuse with gametes to travel.

148.

Why are spores considered an adaptation for reproduction in specific environments?

a)

They can travel long distances and colonize new areas.

b)

They only develop underground and remain local.

c)

They require internal fertilization to function.

d)

They are genetically identical to seeds.

149.

Which statement best describes the genetics of human ABO blood types?

a)

They involve multiple alleles (A, B, O), with A and B codominant when inherited together.

b)

They are determined by a single dominant allele over all others.

c)

They arise only from environmental factors like diet.

d)

They are sex-linked traits carried on the X chromosome.

150.

Why is the AB blood type a classic example of codominance?

a)

Both A and B proteins are expressed equally on the blood cells, and the system uses multiple alleles (A, B, O).

b)

Only the A allele is expressed and masks B.

c)

The trait blends to produce an intermediate protein.

d)

It depends on environmental exposure to antigens.
