B). To say that a trait exhibits “high heritability” is to say that a. a given set of genes has no influence on a trait. b. there is no difference in genotype between members of the population at the loci in question. c. in a given environment and population, genetic differences have a high degree of influence on the trait compared to environmental influences. d. there is no difference in character between two individuals with the same genotype in question.

- . Which of the following terms applies to traits, such as human eye color, that are controlled by more than one gene? A. Codominant B. Polygenic C. Recessive D. Sex-linkedarrow_forwardColor blindness is typically an inherited genetic condition in which individuals have a decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Color blindness only occurs in individuals who have two recessive alleles for the condition. Normal color vision is due to a dominant allele (C) Color blindness is due to the recessive allele (c) a) If Susan is homozygous for normal vision, and Matt is homozygous for color blindness, what is the likelihood (in percentage) that their son Alex will have color blindness? Perform a Punnett Square (either below or by hand on paper) to find the probability. Provide your answer in a full sentence. If you did the Punnett Square by hand, attach your photo to the next question.arrow_forwardSome heterozygotes express a phenotype that is intermediate between the dominant and recessive phenotype. For example, in 4 o’clock flowers the gene for red pigmentation is dominant and the gene for white pigmentation is recessive. However, heterozygotes are pink. The dominant allele does not completely mask expression of the recessive allele: it is incompletely dominant. a. By observing flower color in 4 o’clock flowers, is it possible to unambiguously determine the genotype? YES/NO. Explain your answer. b. Is the same true for flower color in snow peas? YES/NO Why or why not?arrow_forward

A man who does not have a chin dimple haschildren with a woman with a chin dimple whose mother lacked the dimple. What proportion of theirchildren would be expected to have a chin dimple?b. A man with a chin dimple and a woman who lacksthe dimple produce a child who lacks a dimple.What is the man’s genotype?c.

Which of the following accurately describes his Theory of Acquired Characteristics? a. Offspring traits are the result of the blending of traits from the parents. b.
