Question #1
Inheritance from a cross of parents that are both heterozygous for a genotype that shows two phenotypes in their offspring in a ratio of 2:1 is indicative of ________.
A.   a homozygous lethal allele.
B.   incomplete penetrance.
C.   incomplete dominance.
D.   codominance.
Question #2
In contrast to complete dominance, in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross, genes with alleles for incomplete dominance and codominance share:
A.   production of progeny with a 1:2:1 phenotype ratio.
B.   production of progeny with a 1:2:1 genotype ratio.
C.   production of progeny with a 3:1 genotype ratio.
D.   production of progeny with a 3:1 phenotype ratio.
Question #3
A genotype that has a range of phenotypes appearing in a population due to variations in gene expression is demonstrating the phenomenon of:
A.   incomplete dominance.
B.   expressivity.
C.   recessive lethal.
D.   codominance.
E.   incomplete penetrance.
Question #4
A genotype that shows the phenotype in only a proportion of individuals in a population is demonstrating the phenomenon of:
A.   incomplete penetrance.
B.   codominance.
C.   recessive lethal.
D.   incomplete dominance.
E.   expressivity.
Question #5
A heterozygote carrying the two alleles for blood types A and B demonstrates the phenomenon of:
A.   incomplete dominance.
B.   codominance.
C.   incomplete penetrance.
D.   hemizogosity.
E.   expressivity.
