heterozygous
BONUS!
Which type of heredity allows for the phenotypes pictured?

Incomplete Dominance
Bonus Roll!
Homozygous vs Heterozygous
Homozygous means inheriting identical alleles for a specific gene from both parents while heterozygous means inheriting different alleles
Some genes can be hidden or covered up by another. These are considered to be-
Recessive

Two dark brown rabbits have four offspring. Three of the offspring are dark and one is white. What does this tell you about the parents' genes for fur color?
Dark brown is dominant and white fur is recessive. Both parents are heterozygous.

Name a traits that includes a wide spectrum of phenotypes due to polygenic inheritence
Answers Vary (height, skin color, eye, color)
Genotype vs. Phenotype
Genotype- The genetic makeup of an individual Phenotype- The physical trait expressed in an individual

Both of John's parents are heterozygous for a recessive trait. What is the percentage chance that John's phenotype will match his parents?
75%
The relationship between individual II-2 and II-3
Sister - Brother
The relationship between individual I-2 and III-2
Grandfather-Granddaughter
A species of cat exhibits incomplete dominance for fur color. It can be black (dominant), white (recessive), or grey. What is the genotype for a grey cat?
Heterozygous
In codominance, both alleles are equally expressed, resulting in a speckled/spotted offspring (e.g., AB blood type). In incomplete dominance, neither allele is dominant, blending to form a new, intermediate phenotype (e.g., red and white parents making pink offspring).
A test cross is a genetic method used to determine the unknown genotype (homozygous dominant or heterozygous) of an organism with a dominant phenotype. It involves breeding the unknown individual with a _______________ genotype. The offspring's phenotypes will then reveal the parent's genotype.
Homozygous recessive
Name four types of non-mendelian inheritance
codominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic, multiple alleles.
This pedigree tracks the recessive allele for Hemophilia. Individuals III-2 and III-3 are planning on having a child together. What is the probability of their child being affected by Hemophilia?

0%
A species of chicken exhibits codominance. A homozygous black chicken is crossed with a black-and-white checkered chicken. What are the phenotype percentages for possible offspring?
50% Black, 50% Checkered
Gene vs. Allele
Gene- segment of a chromosome that determines a trait
Allele- Versions or variations of a gene
Daniel has attached earlobes. If the allele for unattached lobes is dominant, and both of Daniel’s parents have unattached lobes, What are the genotypes of his parents?
Heterozygous
In dragons, scale color is an incomplete dominant trait. Homozygous dragons are either blue or yellow, and heterozygous dragons are green. Two green dragons are crossed. What is the ratio of their offspring?
25% Blue, 50% Green, 25% Yellow

This pedigree tracks the recessive allele for Hemophilia. What symbol would represent a 4th generation girl if individual III-1 and an affected individual reproduce?

Half shaded circle
The possible phenotypes for blood type include type A, B, AB and O. Blood type demonstrates which non-mendelian principles?
Multiple Alleles and Codominance
Mendelian vs. Non-Mendelian

A test cross is a genetic method used to determine the unknown genotype (homozygous dominant or heterozygous) of an organism with a dominant phenotype. It involves breeding the unknown individual with a _______________ genotype. The offspring's phenotypes will then reveal the parent's genotype.
Homozygous Recessive
List the possible genotypes for each of the four blood phenotypes
