Corn
A species of corn has three colours. Corn may be yellow, white or cream coloured. The cream colour is a mix of the yellow and white colours.
Yellow and white corn are both homozygous while cream-coloured corn are heterozygous.
A species of corn has three colours. Corn may be yellow, white or cream coloured. The cream colour is a mix of the yellow and white colours.
Yellow and white corn are both homozygous while cream-coloured corn are heterozygous.
- Complete a Punnett square to find out the percent probability of producing cream coloured corn from a cross between yellow and white corn.
- Describe the resulting offspring from the parental cross.
- Identify the inheritance pattern that creates the cream colour. Explain.

- In snapdragon plants, flower color follows an incomplete dominance inheritance pattern. Homozygous dominant plants have red flowers, heterozygotes have pink flowers, and homozygous recessive plants have white flowers. Complete the following cross and identify what percentage of the offspring are each color.

- Using the pedigree below, determine whether the alleles B or C have a dominant or recessive relationship, which allele is dominant, and the genotype for individuals I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, II-4, and II-5. Use B or C for the alleles and X for unknown alleles. Note: White squares/circle indicate normal phenotypes. Dark squares/circles indicate the individual has the condition. The B allele is associated with the condition.
