Explain why a trait inherited by incomplete dominance such as the color of appoloosa horses is not a blend of two alleles?
The inheritance of a dominant and a recessive allele results in a blending of traits to produce intermediate characteristics.
Explain the difference between intermediate inheritance and codominance?
In codominance, neither phenotype is recessive. Instead, the heterozygous individual expresses bothphenotypes. Intermediate inheritance is when neither allele is dominant to another, but a mixture is produced in the 2 alleles present. A mixed phenotype is given that is between the two parents phenotype .e.g Red flowers (RR) crossed with white flowers (WW) produces pink flowers (RW).
The study of how traits are inherited through the interactions of alleles is?
Polygenic inheritance
What are the names of some genetic inheritance patterns?
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
What are the states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive?
Mendel's law of inheritance.
What type of inheritance pattern are these rabbits likely displaying?
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
How is the inheritance of traits controlled in organisms?
Individual alleles control the inheritance of traits. Some alleles are dominant, while others recessive.

What is it called when the presence of two different alleles result in an intermediate?
Incomplete Dominance
Do all heterozygous pairs of alleles produce an intermediate?
No
When a trait has more than two alleles how is the trait inherited?
When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. Many quantitative characters have polygenic inheritance. Inheritance of blood groups is an example of polygenic inheritance in human being.When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance.

Types of heredity?
Mendelian inheritance, incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, polygenic inheritance, and sex-linked inheritance.
Pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism?
The pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism is codominance. For example white and red hair color in cattle. Black and white feather color in certain chickens.
The law of independent assortment states the the inheritance of alleles for one trait is not affected by the inheritance of alleles for a different trait if the genes for the traits are on?
separate chromosomes
How inheritance by multiple alleles and polygenic inheritence are similar?
They are both controlled by more than 2 alleles
What is Gregor Mendel contribution?
He paved the road to the study of heredity or inheritance. He discovered how inheritance occurs and how traits are expressed through alleles and he proposed the idea of dominant and recessive alleles.
Do all heterozygous pairs alleles produce an intermediate phenotype?
No
