Non-mendelian Inheritance — Quiz
Test your understanding of non-mendelian inheritance with 5 practice questions.
Practice Questions
Question 1
In a species of flowers, petal color is determined by incomplete dominance. A red-flowered plant (RR) is crossed with a pink-flowered plant (RW). What is the expected genotype ratio of the offspring?
Question 2
In a codominant inheritance pattern, what is the expected phenotype ratio of offspring from a cross between an individual with genotype IAIB and an individual with genotype IBi in the ABO blood group system?
Question 3
In a polygenic trait influenced by two genes (A and B), each with two alleles (A, a and B, b), how many different phenotypic classes can be observed if each dominant allele contributes equally to the trait?
Question 4
In a case of incomplete dominance, if a plant with genotype RW (pink flowers) is crossed with a plant with genotype RW (pink flowers), what is the expected phenotype ratio of the offspring?
Question 5
If a person with type A blood (genotype IAIA or IAi) has a child with a person with type AB blood (genotype IAIB), what is the probability that the child will have type B blood?
