Incomplete Dominance, Punnett Square Time!
You mate a rooster with gray feathers with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black, and 8 are white. What is the most likely explanation regarding heritance of these colors in your chickens? What offspring would you predict from mating a black hen and a gray rooster?

What is
What do we mean by saying the genetic code is redundant or degenerate? How does that offer an evolutionary advantage?
|
What is
How is gel electrophoresis used to separate molecules?
|
Accuracy is how "true" your measurements are, Precision is how consistent your measurements are. Remember the bullseye diagrams!
What is the difference between accuracy and precision?
