Humans
- 5. Multiple Choice
A student studying feather color inheritance in a certain species of chickens observes that the chickens have black (homozygous), blue (heterozygous), or white (homozygous) feathers. The student hypothesizes that this feather color trait follows the incomplete dominance inheritance pattern.

phenotypes of parents
phenotypes of offspring
genotypes of parents
genotypes of offspring
- 7. Multiple Choice
The figure shows a Punnet Square for an inherited trait.
The arrow is pointing to a circled genotype in the square.
What genotype does the circled “dd” represent?
the genotype that only the girls will inherit
the genotype in the mother’s egg
the genotype that any of the children could inherit
the genotype that exactly ¼ of the children will inherit

What does Codominance mean?
when there are two identical alleles for a trait
branch of biology that studies heredity
when both alleles of a gene are fully expressed
alternative forms of a gene for each variation of a trait of an organism
- 12. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is an example of Codominance in genetic traits?
A tall pea plant and a short pea plant produce tall pea plants
An orange cat and a black cat produce an orange-and-black kitten
A blue-eyed man and a brown-eyed woman produce a blue-eyed child
A color-blind woman and a man with normal vision produce a color-blind son
- 13. Multiple Choice

25%
50%
75%
100%
- 14. Multiple Choice
A student researching Gregor Mendel recorded the following notes about the scientist.
Which statement best explains a concept of heredity that is supported by Mendel’s findings?
The environment in which plants are grown affects their appearance
Recessive traits are more likely to be expressed than dominant traits
The appearance of certain traits is predictable and is controlled by genes
Crossing pea plants in the wild produces results without observable patterns.
