Select one of the following:

Where there is two dominant alleles
Where there is two recessive alleles

Explanation

What is homozygous recessive?

Select one of the following:

Explanation

Question 7 of 8

1

What is a codominant allele?

Select one of the following:

Representing Genetic Crosses

1) Choose a single letter to represent each characteristic. This makes it ❌.
2) Choose the first letter of one of the contrasting features. This makes it ❌ is being used.
3) Choose a letter which the higher and lower case differs in size and shape. This ❌.
4) Higher cases represent the ❌, lower case letters represent the ❌.
5) Represent the parents with appropriate pairs of letters and state their ❌.
6) State the gametes produced and circle them. This ❌.
7) Use a ❌ to show the results of random crossing and label male and female. This makes it ❌
8) State the phenotypes of each different genotype and always put the higher case first. This ❌.
