    The document discusses incomplete dominance and codominance in genetics. It provides examples of these concepts in chickens where feather color is codominant, resulting in black, white, or spotted chickens depending on the genotypes. Another example is given in snapdragons where flower color shows incomplete dominance, with the heterozygous genotype producing pink flowers rather than an intermediate color. Probability crosses are provided for both examples and a Punnett square is requested to show the cross that would produce the most pink snapdragon plants.

    Practice: Incomplete Dominance and Codominance


    (Non-Mendelian Genetics)

    1. Explain the difference between incomplete dominance and codominance

    2. In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black
    feathers is B and white feathers is W. The heterogenous genotype is known as erminette. Erminette
    chickens will look “spotted”.

    What is the genotype for black chickens?

    What is the genotype for white chickens?

    What is the genotype for erminette chickens?

    3. A black chicken and a white chicken are crossed. What is the probility of:

    White chickens %

    Black chickens %

    Erminette chickens %

    4. If two erminette chickens are crossed, what is the probability of:

    White chickens %

    Black chickens %

    Erminette chickens %
    5. In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and
    white (W). The heterogenous genotype is expressed as pink.

    What is the phenotype of a plant with genotype RR?

    What is the phenotype of a plant with genotype WW?

    What is the phenotype of a plant with genotype RW?

    6. A pink flowered plant is crossed with a white flowered plant. What is the probability of having:

    Red flowers %

    White flowers %

    Pink flowers %

    7. Two pink flowered plants are crossed. What is the probability of having:

    Red flowers %

    White flowers %

    Pink flowers %

    8. What cross will create the most pink plants?
