In guinea pigs, black coat color (B) is dominant over white coat color (b) and short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). Based upon the dihybrid cross shown below, what is the genotype and phenotype for the offspring represented by the letter X?

Rasheed crossed plants that were heterozygous—have two different alleles—for the traits of flower color, seed color, and seed shape as part of an investigation designed to verify the results of Gregor Mendel’s experiments. The table above displays the results.

Based on the information in the table, which of the following is a valid conclusion?

Match the definitions correctly below.

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

complete dominance

arrow_right_alt

when a dominant allele does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele; so the two dominant traits blend together

incomplete dominance

arrow_right_alt

phenomenon in which two alleles are expressed to an equal degree within an organism (both traits are visible)

codominance

arrow_right_alt

a form of dominance in the heterozygous condition wherein if there is a dominant allele then it complete masks the recessive allele

What is a possible genotype for Mrs. Beck's brown hair?

In cattle, red hair (RR) and white hair (WW) are codominant. Cows with both alleles (RW) have a roan coat, which shows both red and white hairs.
