How does incomplete dominance differ from incomplete penetrance?a. Incomplete dominance refers to alleles at the same locus; incomplete penetrance refers to alleles at different loci.b. Incomplete dominance ranges from 0% to 50%; incomplete penetrance ranges from 51% to 99%.c. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote is intermediate between the homozygotes; in incomplete penetrance, heterozygotes express phenotypes of both homozygotes.d. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote is intermediate between the homozygotes; in incomplete penetrance, some individuals do not express the expected phenotype

In certain species of flies, eye color is controlled by sim-·ple dominance by a single pair of alleles. A red-eyed fly was crossed with a white-eyed fly, both of whose parents had white eyes. All of their offspring (both female and male) had red eyes.a. Which is dominant, the allele for red eyesor the allele for white eyes?b. What is the genotype of the white-eyed parents?c. If the white-eyed parent was mated with one of the red-eyed offspring, what phenotypic ratio wouldyou expect regarding eye color?

What is the probability that an offspring will have a homozygous genotype? c. What is the probability that an offspring will have a dominant phenotype? d. What is the probability that three offspring will be produced that all carry the recessive allele but do not express the recessive phenotype?
In cats, the allele (B) produces black color but (b) produces a yellow color. These alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. A heterozygote produces a tortoiseshell color.

When a Chinese hamster with white spots is crossed with another hamster that has no spots, approximately 12 of the offspring have white spots and 12 have no spots. When two hamsters with white spots are crossed, 23 of the offspring possess white spots and 13 have no spots. a. What is the genetic basis of white spotting in Chinese hamsters? b. How might you go about producing Chinese hamsters that breed true for white spotting?
raccoons may have wide, medium-sized, or narrow bands around their tails. They may also havethe habit of washing all, or some of their food, or do not wash their food at all. a) assign genotypes to the phenotypes mentioned (see attached table) b. What mode of inheritance would most likely be exhibited by these traits if crosses were made? c. If two raccoons with medium-sized tail bands and have the habit of washing some of theirfoods will be crossed, what is the probability of having F1 raccoons with: c.1 wide tail bands that won’t wash any of their food? c.2 the same genotype as the parent raccoons? d. If a raccoon with a wide tail band that washes only some of its food is crossed with a raccoonwith a narrow tail band that doesn’t wash any food, what percentage of their offspring wouldbe medium-tailed and washes all its food? Show COMPLETE cross.
Incomplete Dominance: 1) On the planet Iota Geminorum IV there exists a small hairy animal known as a tribble. It comes in three colors blue, red, and purple. This trait is controlled by a single locus with incompletre dominance. A homozygous CBCB is blue, a homozygous CRCR is red, and a heterozygous CBCR is purple. a. What would be the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring if a blue tribble were crossed with a red one? b. If the offspring in #1 were crossed what would the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be of this generation?
Snapdragons (a type of flower) are incompletely dominant for color; they have phenotypes red, pink, or white. The red flowers are homozygous dominant, the white flowers are homozygous recessive, and the pink flowers are heterozygous. Give the genotypes for each of the phenotypes, using the letters “R" and "w" for alleles. c. White snapdragon a. Red snapdragon Genotype: b. Pink snapdragon Genotype: Genotype: Show genetic crosses between the following snapdragon parents, using the Punnett squares provided, and record the genotypic and phenotypic ratios. a.

What genetic problem is this? (monohybrid, dihybrid or multiple allele)

Match the pattern of inheritance to the appropriate term. A. Heterozygotes with different alleles of the DTL1 gene survive better than homozygotes B. The disease is usually passed from a mother to all children C. Pure-breeding pumpkin plants grown on sandy soil have bigger seeds than plants of the same pure-breeding lineage grown on peaty soil. D. A cross between a true-breeding plant with serrated leaf edges and a true- breeding plant with smooth leaf edges produces an F1 generation with 88% plants with serrated leaves. E. A cross between two heterozygotes, DdFf, produces offspring in three phenotypic groups; Long wings in offspring with genotype D_F_, short wings in offspring with D_ff, and no wings in offspring with the genotypes ddF_ and ddff.
