Crossing over

Recessiveness

3 / 15

A heterozygous red-eyed female Drosophila mated with a white-eyed male would produce _____.

White-eyed females and red-eyed males in the F1

4 / 15

Which statement about the genotypes of organisms is correct?

One recessive allele always causes a recessive phenotype

Dominant alleles are only found in homozygotes

Recessive phenotypes must be homozygous

The dominant phenotype must be heterozygous

5 / 15

In cattle, having horns is a recessive trait (h) to not having horns (H). When cattle with horns are crossed with cattle that do not have horns, the number of offspring having horns was equal to those not having horns. Which of the following is MOST LIKELY to be true?

Both parents are heterozygous.

One parent is homozygous dominant.

Both parents are homozygous dominant.

6 / 15
