Exercises in Science 9

This document contains two activities about genetics concepts - incomplete dominance and codominance. For incomplete dominance, it asks the reader to define the term, identify correct statements about it, and show a Punnett square cross involving palomino horses. For codominance, it again asks for a definition and to identify right statements, and provides an example cross between hypothetical striped and violet feathered birds.

Activity 1. Incomplete Dominance

Let us check how well you understand what you have read so far by answering the questions
that follows:

1. In your own words, what is Incomplete dominance?


Incomplete dominance

2. Identify which of the following statements describes incomplete dominance by writing CORRECT
before each statement if it is true and INCORRECT if it is false.

a. Incomplete dominance results in a third new phenotype that is a blend of the parents’
phenotypes.
b. Offspring of a cross between homozygous parents with different phenotypes exhibits a trait
intermediate between them.
c. In incomplete dominance, the phenotypic ratio is the same as the genotypic ratio.
d. A cross between heterozygous individuals will give rise to three [3] kind of phenotypes.
e. A white four o’clock flower when crossed with a red four o’clock flower will produce pink
flowers.

3. Palomino [BW] coat results from a cross between a chestnut brown [BB] coat horse and a creamy
white [WW] coat horse since furcoat among horses is an incompletely dominant trait. When a
palomino is crossed with a creamy white, show the cross using a Punnett square. Give the
genotype and phenotype of the offspring as well as the phenotypic and genotypic ratios.

Activity 2. Codominance

For you to better understand more about codominance, work on the activity that follows.

Let us check how well you understand what you have read so far by answering the questions that
follow:

1. In your own words, what is codominance?


Codominance

2. Identify which of the following statements describes codominance by writing RIGHT before
each statement if it is true and WRONG if it is false.

a. In codominance, the phenotypic ratio is different from the genotypic ratio.


b. Codominance results in a third phenotype where both parental phenotypes are
expressed
c. A cross between heterozygous individuals will give rise to four [4] kind of phenotypes.
d.A cross between homozygous parents of different phenotypes exhibits a new
phenotype where both traits are present.
e. A roan coat cow when crossed with a white coat cow will produce a red coat cow.

a. A codominant gene controls feather color among Krunggeltz, a hypothetical bird, where green [GG]
and violet [VV] are codominant to each other. The heterozygous form [GV] shows green-violet
striped feathers. With a Punnett square, show a cross between a striped feathered bird and a violet
feathered bird.
