__________________1. A pattern of inheritance in which both alleles of a gene are


expressed.
__________________2. A pattern of inheritance in which the offspring shows
characteristics intermediate between two extreme parental
characteristics.
__________________3. A pattern of inheritance in which there are more than two
alleles for a particular trait.
__________________4. An alteration in chromosome structure or number and also an
alteration in a gene due to change in DNA composition.
__________________5. A pattern of inheritance in which a trait is controlled by several
allelic pairs; each dominant alleles contributes in an additive
and the like manner.
__________________6. Refer to as a prevalent alleles in a population.
__________________7. Refer to an allele that have been altered by mutation.
__________________8. Refer to an allele that has the potential to cause death of an
organism.
__________________9. A phenomenon in which heterozygote that carries two different
alleles may exhibit a phenotype that is intermediate between
the corresponding homozygous individuals.
__________________10. A phenomenon in which two alleles are both expressed in the
heterozygous individual.

B. Non- Mendelian Monohybrid Crosses

Answer the following questions. Provide a punnet square to support your answer where
indicated. Express probabilities as percentages. For instance, a probability of one chance in
ten would be 10%.

1. Explain the difference between incomplete dominance and co-dominance:

___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________.

2. The gene for feather color is controlled by co-dominance in some birds. The allele for
black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette.

a. What is the genotype for erminette birds? ____________

b. How about for white birds? ______________

c. For black birds? ______________


3. A white bird and a black bird are crossed. What is the probability that they will have
erminette chicks? _________%

Parents: ___________ X ___________

4. What is the probability of producing a red-flowered plant if a red-flowered plant is crossed


with a white flowered plant? _____________%
Parents: ___________ X ___________

5.

phenotype and genotype for hair color?
