In pea plants, two alleles for plant height are present: T and t. If a plant shows the recessive phenotype, its genotype would most likely be:

In snapdragons, heterozygotic individuals for the red and white allele exhibit a blended pink phenotype. This phenomenon is called:

In humans, there are three alleles for blood type: IA, IB, and i. Both IA and IB are dominant while i is recessive. If a person has blood type AB and expresses the A and B molecules simultaneously on their red blood cells, this is an example of:

Why are X-linked recessive genetic disorders more commonly observed in males?

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder. If an unaffected man and a carrier woman have a child, what is the probability that this child will be a female with hemophilia? Type only a number in the box provided and, if necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not include the percent symbol (%) or a decimal point in your answer.

Based on Mendelian inheritance, would it be necessary to know both the genotype and phenotype for an organism when attempting to predict the inheritance pattern for a trait in offspring?

In Mendel’s controlled mating experiments, the individuals produced by crossing two true-breeding parents are referred to as:

An individual has the particular genotype AABb. How many unique gametes can be produced?

Mutations will affect the:

Assuming this carrier woman and affected man reproduced and had a son, what is the percent likelihood this son has fragile X syndrome? Type only a number in the box provided and, if necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not include the percent symbol (%) or a decimal point in your answer.
