Question

An individual with (naturally) curly hair and an individual with (naturally) straight hair mate; all of their offspring have (naturally) wavy hair. What is the relationship between the alleles for hair texture?a. incomplete dominance
b. wavy hair is a dominant phenotype to both straight hair and curly hair
c. pleiotropy
d. codominance

Answer 1

Answer: Incomplete dominance

Explanation: Incomplete dominance is an aspect of go-between inheritance whereby one allele for an outstanding characteristic is not totally represented over its allele appearing in pairs. This brings about about a third set of noticeable characteristics of an individual occurring from the interaction of its genotype with the environment in which the represented physical characteristics like hair type, in this case, is a mixture of the phenotypes of the two alleles.
