Answer: Codominance.

Explanation:

Codominance is a relationship between two parts of a gene. Offspring get one part of a gene, known as an allele from each parent. When the alleles are different, a dominant allele is usually expressed and the effect of the allele is usually covered or masked which is recessive. However, when Codominance occurs, neither of the alleles is recessive and phenotypes of both alleles are expressed.

In the above case, mating the yellow and white corn by the farmer resulted in offsprings that have nearly an even mix of both white and yellow corn. This is known as Codominance because no allele appeared to be recessive. The phenotype of both the alleles for yellow and white corn are expressed in the offsprings.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

characterized by presence or absence of antigens

the blood types are A, B, O, AB

Explanation:

There are two antigens and two antibodies that are mostly responsible for the ABO types.  The specific combination of these four components determines an individual's type in most cases. Erythrocytes and serum were related to the presence of antigens on these erythrocytes and antibodies in the serum. these antigens  are A and B, and depending upon which antigen the erythrocytes express, blood either belonged to blood group A or blood group B. A third blood group contained erythrocytes that reacted as if they lacked the properties of A and B, and this group was later called "O" blood group. The fourth blood group AB, was added to the ABO blood group system. These erythrocytes expressed both A and B antigens.

Blood group   Antigen present on RBC    Antibodies in serum    Genotype(s)

      A                        antigen A                             anti-B                     AA or AO

      B                        antigen B                             anti-A                     BB or BO

      AB              both A and B antigen                 none                         AB

      O                           none                           anti-A and anti-B           OO

What is a dinosaur that still lives among us today? readworks answers
Dominik [7]
In an evolutionary sense, birds are a living group of dinosaurs because they descended from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. Other than birds, however, there is no scientific evidence that any dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops, are still alive.
