    The document discusses codominance and incomplete dominance in genetics. It provides examples of codominance in chicken feather color and roan cattle coat color. It also examines incomplete dominance in snapdragon flower color and Andalusian fowl feather color. The document poses genetics problems involving crosses between individuals with different genotypes and predicting resulting offspring genotypes and phenotypes.

    Codominance / Incomplete Dominance

    1. Explain the difference between incomplete and codominance.


    Incomplete Dominance:

    Codominance:

    Co-Dominance Problems- Don’t forget to make a key for each problem

    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
    (black and white spotted).

    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:


    a. They would have a black chick? ________%
    b. They would have a white chick? ________%

    Parents: _______ X _________


    4. A black chicken and a white chicken are crossed. What is the probability that they will have
    erminette chicks? ____%

    Parents: _______ X _________

    In shorthorn cattle, when a red bull (R R) is crossed with a white cow (WW), all the offspring are
    roan—a spotted, red and white or milky red color.

    5. What genotypes are expected from mating a roan bull and a roan cow?

    Genotypes:

    6. What phenotypes would you expect from a cross between a red bull and a white cow?

    7. 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.
    a. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype R R? ___________

    b. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype rr? ___________

    c. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype Rr? ___________

    8. A pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant. What is the probability of


    producing a pink-flowered plant? ____________%

    Parents: ___________ X _______________

    9. What cross will produce the most pink-flowered plants? Show a punnett square to support
    your answer.

    Parents: __________ X __________


    10. In Andalusian fowls, black individuals (B) and white individuals (b) are homozygous.

    A homozygous black bird is crossed with a homozygous white bird. The offspring are all bluish-
    gray. Show the cross as well as the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and offspring.
