Sort the statements into the correct group: Codominance Heterozygous offspring from purple flower and a white flower parents have purple and white stripes Both traits have equal dominance Heterozygous individual shows a combination of phenotypes Incomplete Dominance Heterozygous offspring from purple flower and a white flower parents have light purple flowers Neither trait is dominant over the other Heterozygous individual shows an intermediate phenotype Complete Dominance Heterozygous individual shows the dominant phenotype Uses a lowercase letter to represent a recessive allele Heterozygous offspring from purple flower and a white flower parents have purple flowers One trait is dominant, one trait is recessive A chicken breeder has chickens that are white, black, or speckled. Speckled chickens have both black and white feathers. The allele for white feathers is (W). The allele for black feathers is (B).Determine the genotypes of the rooster and hen that would breed the greatest percentage of speckled chickens. BW x BW BB x BW BW x WW BB x WW In cows, brown (B) is codominant with white (W). The heterozygous phenotype is brown and white speckles. A farmer decided to cross a brown cow and a white cow in hopes of making all brown and white speckles. What percentage of the offspring will be brown with white speckles? 25% 50% 75% 100% The table gives the genotypes and phenotypes of blood:Which phenotype displays codominant inheritance? O A B AB Sort the genotypes for blood types into homozygous and heterozygous: Homozygous ii IAIA IBIB Heterozygous IAIB IAi IBi Is the trait in the pedigree below a dominant or recessive trait? Dominant Recessive According to the Pedigree above, what is Carla's genotype? Homozygous Dominant Heterozygous Homozygous Recessive According to the Pedigree above, what is George's genotype? Homozygous Dominant Heterozygous Homozygous Recessive In humans, wavy hair (CS) results by the incomplete dominant situation of curly hair (C) and straight hair (S). What are the phenotypic ratios of offspring if a curly-haired man and wavy-haired woman reproduce? 50% Curly; 50% Straight 50% Curly; 50% Wavy 50% Wavy; 50% Straight 50% CC; 50% SS 50% CC; 50% CS 50% CS; 50% SS In humans, wavy hair (CS) results by the incomplete dominant situation of curly hair (C) and straight hair (S). What are the genotypic ratios of offspring if a curly-haired man and wavy-haired woman reproduce? 50% Curly; 50% Straight 50% Curly; 50% Wavy 50% Wavy; 50% Straight 50% CC; 50% SS 50% CC; 50% CS 50% CS; 50% SS Oompahs can have red, blue, or purple hair. What type of dominance is this? Complete dominance Codominance Incomplete dominance Orville Oompah has purple hair and is married to Opal Oompah who brags that she has the bluest blue hair in the valley. What percentage of Opal’s children will be able to brag about their blue hair also? 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% One of Opal's children is born with shocking red hair. Opal swears that she has been faithful, she claims the hospital goofed and got her baby mixed with someone else's. Is Opal the mother of the red haired child? Yes No In the land of Oompah, blue hair is highly valued. Blue haired Oompahs get special benefits. Oscar Oompah has purple hair but he wants a wife that will give him children with blue hair.What color hair should he look for in a wife? Blue Red Purple
