Which inheritance pattern results when parents are crossed for pure traits and the resulting offspring have traits that appear to blend?
co-dominance
Explain what you would see in that shows incomplete dominance?
-parents are both homozygous -offspring show a blend of phenotypes -offspring re all pink
What is the type of inheritance that would suggest the concept of blending?
Blending inheritance is inheritance in which contrasting parental characters appear as a blend in the offspring.
What organism did mendel use for this study on genetics?
Mendel studied pea plants. He chose strains that bred true for traits like pea color, flower color, and height. By crossing plants that bred true for these traits he was able to determine that offspring were not a "blend" of their parents and that traits were passed on by what we now know as genes in patterns that could be predicted from one generation to the next.
What is Smudging or Blending?
It states that two individuals will produce offspring with a "blend" of their traits. For example, a black dog and a white dog will have gray offspring. This hypothesis has since been proven incorrect.
Does sexual reprouction increase or decrease genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity, because the offspring will not be genetically identical to either parent, being a genetic blend of the two parents.
When offspring show a blend of the parents traits one allele is dominant over the other?
The results in the offspring hinge on the genetic make up of the parents. Each expressed trait is either the result of a dominant or recessive phenotype. The relative dominance or recessiveness of the alleles doesn't change only the rate at which they are expressed based on the allele present for each obseerved trait in the parents.

What are the difference between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction requires two different sets of (haploid) genes from two parents to produce an offspring (diploid).Asexual reproduction only requires one parent, with said parent often splitting off a part of itself to form a clone - for example: fleas, earthworms and certain plant species. Most commercial plant propagation is done asexually (cuttings, tissue culture etc.)i dont know HAHAIn a sexual reproduction, an organism produces offspring exactly similar to itself, (if no mutations occur). This means that it passes along an exact copy of its entire genome of genetic material/chromosomes/DNA.In sexual reproduction, two organisms share their genome, each constitution half of the offspring's genome. This emans that each organism passes along half of its chromosomes, thus the offspring is a genetic blend of the two parents.
Explain how Mendel's particulate hypothesis is different from the blending hypothesis of inheritance?
Mendel showed in his experiments that inherited traits are not passed through the blending of inheritance theory. According to the blending of inheritance theory, an offspring's traits are a blend between the traits of the parent organisms. In Mendel's experiments however, he showed that this was not true, and that inheritance is actually based on genes, through the observation of recessive traits. He observed that an offspring could have a trait that neither of the parents had, which is now explained through both of the parents having the recessive gene for the trait, but not showing it because they are heterozygous dominant. There is a 25% chance that the offspring of two heterozygous dominant parents will produce a homozygous recessive offspring that will show the trait that neither of the parents shows.
Explain what you would see in that shows incomplete dominance?
-parents are both homozygous -offspring show a blend of phenotypes -offspring re all pink
What is offspring of africans and europeans?
The offspring of Africans and Europeans are commonly referred to as biracial or mixed-race individuals. They may inherit physical characteristics from both genetic backgrounds, resulting in a unique blend of traits. There is diversity among biracial individuals, and their identity may encompass aspects of both African and European cultures.
What would happen if you cross the offspring of two pink roses?
When a red flower crosses with a white flower, it can create a pink flower. Why? Because of incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is when the heterozygous phenotype(offspring) is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes(parents).
What material starts with l?
linsey - it is a thin coarse blend of linen and wool
What is wrong about the thought that sexual reproduction produces offspring that have a blending of the parental traits?
Parental traits don't blend. Many traits a controlled by more than one gene and result in one phenotype from either the mother or the father but not usually a blend of both. For example, if black hair is dominant on a male dog and white hair is recessive on a female dog and they both mate, the offspring will likely have black hair. A blend would be known as incomplete dominance.
What material is the most wrinkle resistant in women's dresses?
Any poly blend is wrinkle resistant.
What is the type of inheritance that would suggest the concept of blending?
Blending inheritance is inheritance in which contrasting parental characters appear as a blend in the offspring.
