Exercise 9:
In studying the transmission of fur color in rabbits, we do the crosses
revealed in the adjacent figure. ( /12 points)
1- Is this the case of dominance or codominance? Justify your
answer.

Exercise 10:
In order to study the transmission of the hereditary trait, the color of flowers in plants, we perform a cross
between two pure lines of plants, one with yellow flowers and the other with blue flowers. All plants that are
obtained in the first generation F1 have flowers of violet color. ( /13 points)
1- Specify the type of inheritance studied in flowers.
