The connection between them is Vitamin D.

Vitamin D can be obtained from food and supplements, or synthesized by our bodies when we receive UV radiation in our skin, which is our major source. However, this vitamin comes <span>inactivated</span> and the only way to activate it is through enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and later in the kidneys.

 This vitamin is necessary in the intestines because allows calcium and phosphorus to be observed, leading to normal growth and development of bones and teeth. Without enough vit D, bones become fragile, causing osteoporosis.

"Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely
lyudmila [28]

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".
