trait cross
14) Incomplete dominance is shown when
A
a black guinea pig is crossed with a white quinea pig to produce a grey guinea pig.
B
a black guinea pig is crossed with a white quinea pig to produce a black guinea pig.
C
a black guinea pig is crossed with a white quinea pig to produce a speckled black and white guinea pig.
D
a black guinea pig is crossed with a white quinea pig to produce a white guinea pig.
15) When Medel crossed a strain of tall pea plants with a strain of short pea plants, he observed that all of the plants in the F1 generation were all tall. This suggests
