Which of the following provides an example of epistasis?

Recessive genotypes for each of two genes (aabb) results in an albino corn snake.

In rabbits and many other mammals, one genotype (ee) prevents any fur color from developing.

In Drosophila (fruit flies), white eyes can be due to an X-linked gene or to a combination of other genes.

In cacti, there are several genes for the type of spines.

Radish flowers may be red, purple, or white. A cross between a red-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant yields all-purple offspring. The flower color trait in radishes is an example of which of the following?

A multiple allelic system

Sex linkage

Codominance

Incomplete dominance

Which of the following is an example of polygenic inheritance?

Pink flowers in snapdragons

The ABO blood group in humans

What is the reason that closely linked genes are typically inherited together?

They are located close together on the same chromosome.

The number of genes in a cell is greater than the number of chromosomes.

Alleles are paired together during meiosis.

A recessive allele on the X chromosome is responsible for red-green color blindness in humans. A woman with normal vision whose father is color blind marries a color-blind male. What is the probability that this couple's first son will be color blind?

Recombination between linked genes comes about for what reason?

Nonrecombinant chromosomes break and then rejoin with one another.

Independent assortment sometimes fails.

Linked genes travel together at anaphase.

Crossovers between these genes result in chromosomal exchange.

Refer to the pedigree chart in the figure above for a family, some of whose members exhibit the dominant trait, W. Affected individuals are indicated by a dark square or circle. What is the genotype of individual II-5?
