Inheritance

Question 1

Complete dominance

Answer 1

Presence of a dominant allele masking the presence of the other recessive allele. The dominant allele determines the expression of the heterozygous genotype

Question 2

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 2

Neither allele dominates the other. The phenotype of the heterozygous genotype appears as an intermediate or blended form of both alleles

Question 2

Co Dominance

Answer 2

Both alleles contribute to the expression of the heterozygous genotype

Question 3

Lethal Alleles

Answer 3

When a mutation results in an allele that produces a non-functional version of an essential allele, resulting in a death of an organism

Question 4

Multiple Alleles

Answer 4

Having three or more alleles existing for a gene

Question 5

Monohybrid Inheritance

Answer 5

Inheritance of one trait controlled by one gene that can have two or more different alleles

Question 6

Dihybrid Inheritance

Answer 6

Inheritance of two traits controlled by two genes that are either linked or unlinked

Question 7

Linked Genes

Answer 7

Genes on the same chromosome, altering the inheritance pattern because they are in the same chromosome and are inherited together and not separated during meiosis

Question 8

Crossing 2 homozygotes (YYRR and yyrr)

Answer 8

100% of the offsprings will be heterozygous (YyRr) which is F1 generation

Question 9

Crossing 2 heterozygotes (2 from F1 gen)

Answer 9

Produces 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio
