1. Define the following and give an example illustrating this
type of inheritance.
A. Incomplete Dominance –
2. Multiple Alleles / Codominance: Blood Typing.
A. If a woman who is homozygous B marries a man who
is type AB, what is their chance of having a child with
type A blood? Show your work with a punnett square.
B. Codominance –
C. Sex-Linked –
D. Polygenic Trait -
5. Read the scenarios below and decide what type of
inheritance pattern is being described. Choose from
simple dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance,
or sex-linked inheritance.
A. A woman with a mild, non-fatal genetic disorder
marries a normal man. They have 3 normal daughters and
3 sons that all have the disorder. ____________________________
3. Sex-Linked Inheritance. Colorblindness is a sexlinked recessive trait carried on the X chromosome. Use N
for normal vision and n for colorblindness. Don’t forget
your XX and XY! Show all work with a punnett square.
A. If a woman who is colorblind marries a man who has
normal vision, what are their chances of having a colorblind
child?
4. Incomplete Dominance. If red flowers are
incompletely dominant to white, what are the chances if
two pink flowers cross, of producing more pink
flowers?
6. What is a clone? ________________________________
Draw below a sketch of how to make a clone:
7. What is a GMO/Transgenic organism?
B. In certain species of plant, there are 3 possible
phenotypes for flower color. Homozygous individuals
either have red or yellow flowers. Heterozygous
individuals have orange flowers. ____________________________
8. Why are we able to genetically engineer GMOs?
C. The ability to roll your tongue is a genetically inherited
trait. The trait exists in two forms – able to roll tongue and
unable to roll tongue. People either can roll their tongue
or they cannot. ________________________________________________
9. What is PCR?
D. Individuals belonging to a certain species of cat have
either all white fur, all orange fur, or fur where some hairs
are white & orange. __________________________________________
