Mitosis is when a DNA error, aka mutation, occurs in a body cell. When cells divide, it needs a copy of the DNA. During DNA replication, that error can cause the instructions for building proteins to differ. The change can not affect offspring. Meiosis is the same situation, but in sex cells. This can be transferred to offspring.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

No matter how many factors are in the cross, if an 2 purebred (homozygous individuals) are crossed, (one dominant, one recessive) the dominant phenotype will always be displayed.

Imagine a cross with between two individuals true breeding for 6 traits. One shows all dominant genotypes, one shows all recessive genotypes. The only gametes those individuals can pass on will always produce heterozygotes.

AABBCCDDEEFFGG x aabbccddeeffgg

The first individual can only give ABCDEFG alleles. The second individual can only give abcdefg alleles. Therefore, all offspring will be AaBbCcDdEeFfGg, and will therefore express the dominant trait.

tatiyna

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Non-Mendelian inheritance (incomplete dominance)

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance pattern observed in nature in which none of the two alleles completely show their effect and produces a third type of phenotype which is different from the phenotype of both the parents.

In the given question, since the cross of red flower and white flower produces a third type of flower color known as pink during F₁ generation is the result of the incomplete effect of both the alleles.

Cross

RR (red) x rr (white) = Rr (pink)

Thus, incomplete dominance is the correct answer.
