Explain epistasis in terms of its Greek-language roots 鈥渟tanding upon.鈥
Labrador retrievers鈥 fur color is controlled by two alleles, E and B. Any dog with the ee__ genotype develops into a yellow lab, while B_E_ dogs become black labs and bbE_ dogs become chocolate labs. This is an example of _____.
a. epistasis
b. codominance
c. incomplete dominance
d. linkage
Which is one of the seven characteristics that Mendel observed in pea plants?
a. flower size
b. seed texture
c. leaf shape
d. stem color
The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the I A , I B , and i alleles. The I A allele encodes the A blood group antigen, I B encodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (I A i) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (I B i) mate, one quarter of their offspring will have AB blood type (I A I B ) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of:
a. multiple alleles and incomplete dominance
b. codominance and incomplete dominance
c. incomplete dominance only
d. multiple alleles and codominance
Figure 12.5In pea plants, round peas ( R ) are dominant to wrinkled peas ( r ). You do a test cross between a pea plant with wrinkled peas (genotype rr ) and a plant of unknown genotype that has round peas. You end up with three plants, all of which have round peas. From this data, can you tell if the round pea parent plant is homozygous dominant or heterozygous? If the round pea parent plant is heterozygous, what is the probability that a random sample of 3 progeny peas will all be round?
