This Punnett square shows a heterozygous cross. Brown fur (F) is dominant over white fur (f).

What is the phenotypic ratio?

• 3:1

• 1:2:1

• 1:1

• 4:0

Snapdragon flowers display incomplete dominance.

Red color (R) is incompletely dominant to white color (r).

If 2 pink flowers are crossed, what is the phenotypic ratio?

(Hint: make a punnett square!)

• 1 red : 2 pink : 1 white

• 3 red : 1 white

• 3 white : 1 red

• 1 pink : 2 red : 1 white

In cows, there are two alleles for color: white and red.

The spotted cow shown in the picture is heterozygous.

What is this type of inheritance called?

• codominance

• incomplete dominance

• complete dominance

Matching.

• a non-sex chromosome

• gamete

• a form/version of a gene

• gene

• a section of DNA that codes for a trait

• allele

• sex cells (sperm or egg)

• autosome
