NONDOMINANCE OR INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
1
In chickens BB calls for a black chicken. WW calls for a white chicken, The BW combination calls for the
blue Andalusian chicken. Cross a blue hen with a blue rooster.
2
A black chicken is mated with an Andalusian blue chicken. What types of offspring might be expected?
3
In chickens, rose comb (R) is dominant to single comb (r). What type of offspring would be expected from a
white rooster who is heterozygous rose-combed who is crossed with a single-combed Andalusian blue hen?
4
In four o’clocks, flower color is due to nondominance. Some flowers are red, some are white, and others are
pink. Cross a red flower with a pink flower.
a) What is the genotype of the red flower?
b) What is the genotype of the pink flower?
c) What is the probability of getting red offspring?
d) What is the probability of getting white offspring?
e) What is the probability of getting pink offspring?
5
In cattle, the RR calls for a red cow; the WW for a white cow; and the RW calls for roan color. A red bull
and a white cow are mated. What type of offspring would be expected? Give the genotypes and phenotypes
and their probabilities.
6
A cattle breeder knows that the hornless condition (H) is dominant over horned (h). He mates a
heterozygous hornless cow who is roan colored with a horned roan bull. What type of offspring would be
expected from this cross? Give the probability of each.
7
The shape and color of radishes are controlled by two independent pairs of genes that show no dominance.
The color may be red (RR), white (WW), or purple (RW). What type of offspring might be expected when
purple radishes are mated with white radishes?
8
The shape and color of radishes are controlled by two independent pairs of genes that show no dominance.
The color may be red (RR), white (WW), or purple (RW). The shape may be long (LL), round (OO), or oval
(LO). Show a cross between a long, red radish and a round, white radish. Show the genotypes, the
phenotypes and the probabilities of the first generation. If the offspring of the F1 generation are allowed to
self-pollinate, what types of offspring will be expected in the F2 generation?
9
In some cats, the gene for tail length shows incomplete dominance. When a cat with a long tail is bred to a
cat with no tail, the resulting offspring have short tails. For each of the following, predict the types of
offspring that would result:
a) A long tail cat bred to a cat with no tail
b) A long tail cat bred to a short tail cat
c) Two short tail cats
10
In a particular plant, long stem is dominant over short stem. This same plant may produce red flowers or
white flowers with this trait showing nondominance. Cross a heterozygous, long stemmed pink plant with a
heterozygous long stemmed, red flowering plant.
