<p>Incomplete and Codominance Worksheet (Non-Mendelian monohybrid crosses) </p><p>Answer the following questions. Show the cross and provide a Punnett square to support your answers where indicated. Express probabilities as percentages. For instance, a probability of one chance in ten would be 10%.</p><p>1. Define incomplete dominance and codominance: (remember all definitions should be in 10 words or less)</p><p>2. In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette.</p><p> a. What is the genotype for black chickens? ____ b. What is the genotype for white chickens? ____ c. What is the genotype for erminette chickens? ____ 3. If two erminette chickens were crossed, what is the probability that:</p><p>Parents: ____ X ____</p><p> a. They would have a black chick? ____% b. They would have a white chick? ____%</p><p>4. A black chicken and a white chicken are crossed. What is the probability that they will have erminette chicks? ____%</p><p>Parents: ____ X ____ 5. In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (R’). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as pink.</p><p> a. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype RR? ______b. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype R’R’? ______c. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype RR’? ______</p><p>6. Two plants are showing incomplete dominance and can have red, pink or white flowers. A pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant. Show the parents and work the square below. What is the probability of producing a pink-flowered plant? ____%</p><p>Parents: ____ X ____</p><p>7. Two plants are showing incomplete dominance. What cross will produce the most pink-flowered plants? Show all possible Punnett squares to support your answer. Circle the square that shows the most pink-flowered plants. (see # 6 above for colors) Hint: There are six possible squares.</p><p>Parents: ____ X ____</p>
