Types of Inheritance

Question 1

Autosomal Dominant/Recessive Inheritance

Answer 1

“R” is dominant to “r”

Question 2

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 2

“F^R” is equally dominant to “F^T”
Heterozygous -> blended phenotypes

Question 3

Co-Dominance

Answer 3

“F^R” is equally dominant to “F^T”
Heterozygous => both phenotypes show up simultaneously

Question 4

Multiple Allele Inheritance

Answer 4

Blood types: Type A and B are dominant whilst O is recessive
Dominance Hiearchy: A>B>C>D>E

Question 5

Sex-Linked Inheritance

Answer 5

Alleles on X chromosome, none on Y chromosome
Alleles on X are dominant or recessive (from example above: A > a)
XX = phenotypically female XY = phenotypically male
