8A- monohybrid crosses

Question 1

A monohybrid cross between two parents heterozygous for a complete dominance autosomal trait can produce how many types of offspring

Answer 1

3

Question 2

whats codominance

Answer 2

codominance happens when two traits are independently and equally expressed

Question 3

whats an example of codominance

Answer 3

blood type

Question 4

what is a monohybrid test cross

Answer 4

it is performed by crossing an individual with an unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual. then, through observing the phenotypes of the offspring, we can determine whether the unknown parent is homozygous dominant or heterozygous. using phenotypes of the offspring to determine the parent’s genotype

Question 5

contrast monohybrid crosses and test crosses

Answer 5

Monohybrid crosses are used to predict the genotypes of potential offspring and phenotypic proportions. A test cross is used to discover if an individual is homozygous dominant or heterozygous

Question 6

monohybrid cross

Answer 6

a genetic cross performed to observe the inheritance of alleles and phenotypes for a single gene

Question 7

Punnett square

Answer 7

a square diagram used to predict the genotypes of offspring

Question 8

codominance

Answer 8

happens when two traits are independently and equally expressed

Question 9

test cross

Answer 9

when an individual expressing the dominant phenotype but with an unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. The results indicate whether the individual with the dominant phenotype is homozygous dominant or heterozygous
