This type of inheritance pattern is shown here.

What is Co-Dominance

#4

The passing on of traits from parent to offspring.

What is heredity.

NO PUN INTENDED
#1

Tool used to predict possible offspring of a cross.

This is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from a genetic cross between two hybrid tall pea plants

What is 75% or 3/4

#5

Trait 1: R-round , r-wrinkled

DOMINANT/RECESSIVE
#1

Mendel used T to show the dominant allele for height, meaning tall. He used this letter to show the recessive allele

What is lower case "t"

#2

Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait.

What is recessive

#3

A heterozygous individual has one _________________ and one recessive allele.

What is dominant.

What is homozygous recessive.

#5

Final Question

In rats, Black fur (B) is dominat to white fur (b) and long tait (L) is dominant to short tail (l). A rat that is heterozygous for color and homozygous for short tail is crossed with a white rat that is heterozygous for long tail. Show the cross and list the possible phenotypes of the offspring.
