10 Questions
What type of genetic inheritance occurs when both alleles are equally dominant?
Codominance
If a red flower is crossed with a white flower and the resulting flowers are red and white spotted, what type of genetic inheritance is at play?
Codominance
What type of genetic inheritance results in a phenotype that is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes?
Incomplete dominance
Which type of inheritance involves genes found on the 23rd chromosome?
Sex-linked
What term describes a gene having more than two alleles within the population, even though individuals only have two alleles?
Multiple alleles
What is indicated by the symbol for a carrier on a pedigree?
The trait is recessive
In autosomal inheritance, what can be inferred if there is no significant difference in the proportion of affected males and females?
It is a recessive trait
What characteristic distinguishes sex-linked inheritance from autosomal inheritance?
Difference in proportion of affected males and females
In interpreting pedigrees, what does the presence of skipping of generations indicate?
Sex-linked inheritance
What is suggested when every affected individual in a pedigree has an affected biological parent?
Dominant trait
Explore advanced genetic concepts that go beyond Mendel's laws of dominance, including incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, and sex-linked traits. Understand how traits can be expressed when alleles are neither completely dominant nor recessive.
