In the ABO blood type system in humans, there are _________ different alleles, ____________ different phenotypes, and ____________ different genotypes

In certain plants, red flowers are dominant to white flowers. If a heterozygous plant is crossed with a homozygous red-flowered plant, what is the probability that the offspring will be white-flowered?

0%

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease, results only when individuals possess two copies of the disease-causing allele. Which statement is true about this disease?

Heterozygous individuals may pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to offspring

A pigmented giraffe (M_) is crossed with an albino giraffe (mm). All of the resulting offspring are pigmented. Therefore, the pigmented giraffe's genotype must be

MM

Which of the following best explains Mendel's law of segregation?
