Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"

A) complete dominance

B) incomplete dominance

C) codominance

D) epistasis

E) incomplete penetrance

Answer:

B) incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.

For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".

About artificial selection, determine if YOU think the benefits of artificial selection outweigh the disadvantages.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

What YOU think

Explanation:

That's what it asks, but here are some points to help you along your way: Artificial selection has brought about the extinction or overpopulation of certain species. This can be seen in the avocado or banana industry. Consumers like the smaller, sweeter species of avocadoes. This caused that species to explode and the old ones to become endangered as farmers grew only that type and bred them selectively. Consumers like the smaller, less mushy, less sweet banana species, so now an amazing species of banana is extinct because the forests that used to have them now no longer exist or were changed to grow only that type of banana. Flip it to the animal side, and it's the same story. Those turkeys that the president "Saves" every year? because of artificial selection, that turkey dies a few weeks later because he grew too plump. Why? Because those turkeys are artificially selected to grow much larger than a normal turkey, and their lifespan is not in mind as they are grown for meat. Also, I hope all of this work gives me brainliest :/
