Question

For each of the following scenarios, state the type of inheritance (20 points) and explain how you are able to discern this information (40 points). In addition, for each scenario, choose one other type of inheritance and explain why it does not apply (40 points). For example, if you have determined that a scenario falls under incomplete dominance, explain why it would not be co-dominance or complete dominance.
All scenarios are imaginary, but based on the actual patterns of inheritance.

Answer 1

1) A blue alien and a green alien mate and produce 1,000 offspring that are all blue. Another alien couple who share the same genotyope and phenotype as the first couple also mate and produce 1,000 offspring, all of which are blue. Males and females from the two matings then mate with one another. Matings between the blue offspring produce 75% blue and 25% green offspring.

Answer 2

Well, obviously the blue color of the Alien is dominant, because when the green and blue aliens mate, their offspring are always blue.
