This set of MCQs is about Heredity which is normally defined as the method by which an offspring acquires predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell. It is the process of transferring genetic traits from parents to their offspring and is initiated by the recombination and segregation of genes during cell devision and fertilization.
A female fish is homozygous dominant for both fancy fins (F) and shiny scales (S). She is crossed with a male who is heterozygous for both traits. What are the genotypes of these fish (Female; male)
FFSS; FfSs

ss- phenotype; constricted pod- genotype
Ss- phenotype; smooth pod- genotype
SS- phenotype; smooth pod- genotype
ss- genotype; constricted pod- phenotype
In snakes, being rude (R) is dominant to being respectful ®, and being sneaky (S) is dominant to being sincere (s). A female snake that is homozygous recessive for both r and s trait is mated with a male snake that is homozygous dominant for both (R and S). Both R and S traits assort independently from one another.
