Basic Genetics: One Gene

BB is homozygous dominant, bb is homozygous recessive, and Bb is heterozygous. Complete dominance describes a cleft chin. Incomplete dominance describes a flower that is blue, purple, or pink. Multiple alleles describes blood type determined by IA, IB, and i. Co-dominance describes a blood type genotype of IAIB that shows both A and B attachments. Pleiotropy describes a pea gene that determines both flower and seed color. Skin color and eye color are polygenic, while epistasis describes a second gene whose expression depends on the first gene and a Labrador's coat color.

Match each term from above to an example.

A cleft chin is recessive and results from a cc genotype, but a non-cleft chin can be Cc or CC.
__________________________

A flower is blue with genotype BB, purple with Bb, and pink with bb. ____________________________

Blood type is determined by the presence of IA, I , and i in the genotype. _________________________
B

If a blood type genotype is IA IB, both the A and B attachments are present on blood cells.
__________________________

The garden pea gene for flower color also decides the seed color. _______________________________

Genotype or Phenotype? Write a ‘G’ for each genotype, and a ‘P’ for phenotype.
