Question

The picture shows fruit produced by two parents and fruit produced by one of their offspring

Answer 1

Which of these best describes this inheritance pattern?

codominance because he fruit color of the offspring is an intermediate form of the parents’ fruit color

codominance because both parents’ colors are expressed in the offspring

incomplete dominance because both parents’ colors are expressed in the offspring

incomplete dominance because the fruit color of the offspring is an intermediate form of the parents’ fruit color

Answer 2

Answer:

incomplete dominance because the fruit color of the offspring is an intermediate form of the parents’ fruit color

Explanation:

The diagam in the given question depicts an incomplete dominance is deviation from Mendel’s law of dominance. This is a kind of intermediate inheritance. In incomplete dominance, one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed in F1 generation. But F1 progeny appear new phenotype in which there is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles. Unlike complete dominance inheritance, one allele does not dominate or mask the effect of other allele.
