In mice, the agouti gene determines coat color. This gene has two incompletely dominant alleles: black (AB) and yellow (AY). Heterozygous mice express a mix of the black and yellow coat color, which we call "agouti". However, homozygous yellow mice (AYAY) develop obesity, diabetes, and tumors, and often do not survive to birth.

In rabbits, white coat color (CW) and black coat color (CB) are codominant, and both of these alleles are dominant over albino (c). Heterozygotes (CWCB) are spotted.

What are the expected phenotypes from the offspring of a heterozygous black coat rabbit (CBc) and a homozygous white coat rabbit (CWCW) ?

In a species of birds, blue feathers (B) are incompletely dominant to the gene for white feathers (W). Individuals that are heterozygous (BW) have blue-tipped feathers.

A bird with blue-tipped feathers is crossed with a white bird. What is the chance that the offspring will have blue feathers?

Body color for horses is determined by two Incompletely dominant alleles: brown (BB) and cream (BC). When a horse is heterozygous for body color, it is described as palomino (BBBC).

What is the expected phenotypic ratio if two palomino horses mate?

In humans, there are four types of blood: Type A, Type B, Type AB, and Type O. The alleles A (IA) and B (IB) are codominant to each other, and the O allele ( i ) is recessive to both A and B. This means a person with Type A blood could be IAIA or IAi.
