| The separation of alleles into separate gametes is summarized as Mendel’s law of | segregation |
| In cattle, roan coat color occurs in the heterozygous (Rr) offspring of red (RR) and white (rr) homozygotes. When 2 roan cattle are crossed, the phenotypes of the progeny are in the ratio of 1 red:2 roan:1 white. Which of the following crosses produce th | red ˛ white |
| What is a genetic cross called between an individual of unknown genotype and a homozygous recessive? | a test cross |
| 5) Assume tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t), while green (G) seed color is dominant to yellow (g). A dwarf, yellow seed plant is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and green seeds. What are the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individu | TtGgπ tall and green |
| A 1:2:1 phenotypic and genotypic ratio in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross is a sign of | incomplete dominance |
