This question is out of 5 points.  Write a null hypothesis for the data below (yes, it’s Mendel’s peas again)

One gene pair is involved. What type of inheritance is shown in the pedigree above? Choose all that apply.

A testcross can be done to determine the genotype of an individual expressing dominant traits or to determine the relative distance between two or more linked genes.

With incomplete dominance, a likely ratio resulting from a monohybrid cross would be:

Maternal effect molecules are products of the mom’s genotype that are placed in an egg.

Two linked genes (A) and (B) are separated by 18 mu. A man with genotype AaBb marries a woman who is aabb. The man’s father was AABB. What is the probability that their first child will be Aabb?
