The pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism is codominance. For example white and red hair color in cattle. Black and white feather color in certain chickens.

When inheritance of a particular trait follows a pattern of what individuals that are heterozygous for the trait have the same phenotype or physical characteristic as individuals who are homozyg?
This type of inheritance represents alleles at the same locus where one is recessive to the other. The dominant phenotype occurs in all heterozygous offspring as well as the homozygous dominant offspring. This yields a 3:1 phenotype and a 1:2:1 genotype.
What inheritance pattern best explains how genes influence human height?
In humans, height is governed by polygenic inheritance, which means that many different genes contribute to a person's height, rather than just one.
What would be your clue that a character would have polygenic inheritance pattern?
Polygenic inheritance shows a continuous variation. An example of polygenic inheritance is human skin because it has a variety of colors. An example of something not having polygenic phenotype is earlobes because they are either free or attached; there is no in-between state.
Discuss the inheritance pattern that would be seen in a pedigree designed to study a recessive sex-linked trait?
Males are only going to have one X chromosome, so they will either show the phenotype or be normal. Girls will either be carriers or normal.
How does polygenic inheritance differ from Mendelian inheritance?
polygenic inheritance is when more than one genes are responsible for a character/phenotype. for example human skin color. if one want to draw a pedigree for that, he will not be able to succeed. although individual genes at molecular level is inherited according to mendel's laws. and mendelian inheritance simply follows mendels laws. also the character is controlled by one gene only. for example pea plant height.
What is an inheritable pattern in which two different alleles contribute to the phenotype in separate and distinguishable ways?
Codominance.

Who is the man who discovered the pattern of genetic inheritance?
Gregor Johann Mendel is credited with discovering the pattern of genetic inheritance

A single gene trait that has two alleles and that shows a simple dominant recessive pattern will result in?
A 3:1 phenotypic ratio (Mendelian inheritance).
Is recessive the process in which DNA changes to form new alleles?
No, recessive traits refer to the inheritance pattern of the allele. In the simple case where a trait is either expressed or not, if it is a recessive trait it will only be the expressed phenotype when it is homozygous. Dominant allele phenotypes will show if the genotype is heterozygous.
What type of inheritance pattern are these rabbits likely displaying?
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
