Question

What do you call the non-Mendelian inheritance pattern that states that both traits are dominant and both appear in the organism and neither trait is masked?A. Codominance
B. Incomplete dominance
C. Polygenic traits

Answer 1

Answer:A. Codominance

Explanation:

This is a type of genetic inheritance where neither of the genes is dominant over another. Thus both pair of the gene are expressed on the same LOCUS equally with none masking another. Therefore an   individual receive both  allele of a heterozygous  gene, and have equal phenotypic expression

An example is the AB  blood group in man, where both allele present on the same locus are fully expressed with no one dominant over another.

Incomplete dominance refers to a blend of  alleles where one does  not have  full dominance over another another, therefore gives a new phenotypic expression different from both alleles.

e.g  pink flower allele in four o'clock flower.
