QUIZ #1

A.

1. Incomplete Dominance, Codominance

2. A genotype is an individual’s gene expressed as alleles. Genotypes can be homozygous
dominant, homozygous recessive, and heterozygous dominant. On the other hand, a phenotype is
the gene expressed as a physical trait. Dominant alleles are expressed as capital letters. Whenever it
is present in an individual’s genotype, it is always expressed. On the other hand, a recessive allele is
expressed in small letters. It is always masked by the dominant allele when a dominant allele is
present.

B.
1. The trait shown in the pedigree chart is recessive. A cross between two unaffected parents yielded
offsprings who are affected by the trait. This is a characteristic of an autosomal recessive
pattern.
2. Since II-3 has a parent who is affected, he/she can be a carrier of the trait. Same goes to II-4,
who has parents who are possible carriers of the trait. Both II-3 and II-4 is heterozygous because
they yielded affected offsprings.

C.
1. I-1, II-2, II-3, II-7, III-3
 2. Dominant trait
3. 6 children
4. 2 daughters
5. II-4 is III-2’s uncle.

D.
1. Recessive trait
2. Both the parents of the affected individual are unaffected and possible carriers of the trait.
3. They are married.
4. IV-2 and IV-4
5. Yes, because she has siblings who are affected which means the recessive allele is present in both
parents.
