Read it - Types of Inheritance

What is the purpose of Punnett squares in genetics?

• To determine the probability of offspring inheriting certain traits

• To analyze the genetic makeup of parents

• To study the effects of environmental factors on genetic traits

• To identify the specific genes responsible for certain traits

What is the significance of homozygous and heterozygous genotypes in understanding genetic traits and inheritance?

• They determine the physical appearance of an organism

• They determine the genetic makeup of an organism

• They determine the gender of an organism

• They determine the lifespan of an organism

What is the expression pattern of dominant and recessive alleles?

• Dominant alleles are expressed when present, while recessive alleles are only expressed when there are no dominant alleles.

• Dominant alleles are only expressed when there are no recessive alleles, while recessive alleles are always expressed.

• Dominant alleles are always expressed, while recessive alleles are only expressed when present.

• Dominant alleles and recessive alleles are always expressed together.

Incomplete dominance is when both alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype like the blood type AB, where both A and B alleles are present and expressed.

• True

• False

In the case of Co-dominance, neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a blending of traits. For instance, when a red flower and a white flower are crossed, the offspring may have pink flowers, which is a blend of the two parental colors.

• True

• False
