  • #1 Multiple Choice
    The first image illustrates a genetic phenomenon where a single gene influences multiple traits. What is the term for this phenomenon, and which of the following is a classic example in humans?
  • #2 Multiple Choice
    The second and third images show the distribution of phenotypes for a trait controlled by three genes, each with two alleles. What type of inheritance is depicted, and what is the expected phenotypic ratio for the most common phenotype?
  • #3 Multiple Choice
    In the fourth and fifth images, Labrador retriever coat color is determined by two genes: one for pigment color (B/b) and one for pigment deposition (E/e). Which genotype will result in a yellow Labrador, regardless of the B gene alleles?
