    Feather color
    Eye color
    30s

    Both genetic and environmental factors
    Neither genetic nor environmental factors
    Only genetic factors

    What is the term for genes that have more than two alleles within a population?
    Multiple dominance
    Codominant alleles
    Multiple alleles
    Polygenic traits
    30s
  • Q8
    How many copies of each gene does an individual typically have?
    Three
    Two
    One
    Four

  • Q9
    What is the term for a gene with more than two alleles?
    Polygenic genes
    Codominant genes
    Multiple genes
    Multiple alleles

  • Q10
    Incomplete dominance is an exception to Mendel's principles because:
    One allele is completely dominant
    Both alleles are recessive
    Neither allele is completely dominant or recessive
    It follows Mendel's principles
