Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon flowers as an example.

Biology
1 answer:
oee [108]3 years ago

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!

Which of the following statements about genes is incorrect? a. During fertilization, both the sperm and the ovum contribute gene
Illusion [34]

Answer:

d. Under normal circumstances, each chromosome contains precisely one gene.

Explanation:

The gene is a segment of a DNA molecule, responsible for genetically inherited traits. Each gene consists of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code (instructions) to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body. Each human cell has about 25,000 genes.

The genes are located within the chromosomes. A chromosome can house thousands of genes, it is not normal for a chromosome to house a gene or a few units. Thus, if a cell contains 46 chromosomes, that cell has an incalculable number of genes.
