What Are Some Complexities Of Genetics?
1. Explain, in general terms, how genes control the phenotype of an organism.
2. Distinguish between complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance.
3. Explain (in terms of gene function) how the heterozygous condition for flower color
results in complete dominance in pea plants, but incomplete dominance in snap
dragons.
4. Explain why the degree of dominance can differ depending on the level at which
phenotype is examined (Hint: Tay Sach's disease is a good example).
5. Distinguish between the terms multiple alleles and polygenic inheritance and give an
example of each.
6. Give two examples of interaction of the environment with genotype in determination
of a phenotype.
