Question 3
3.

Select all that are an example of a Phenotype.

Question 4
4.

A person with a homozygous recessive genotype (hh) for hair has a child with a person with a heterozygous genotype (Hh) for hair, what are the possible phenotype for the child? Set up a punnett square and show the phenotypes ratios. Show your work by completing the punnett square.

Question 5
5.

Some organisms have features that have different functions, but similar structures. One example is the forelimb of humans, dogs, birds, and whales.

What term best describes the relationship between these forelimbs?
