Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together?
A
Incomplete Dominance
B
Co-Dominance
C
Mendelian Inheritance
D
Homozygous Inheritance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a particular trait is not expressed completely over its paired allele.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Codominance Codominance, as it relates to genetics, refers to a type of inheritance in which two versions (alleles) of the same gene are expressed separately to yield different traits in an individual.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blending theory is the theory that focuses on blending the characteristics of the parents in the offspring. Thus, it focuses on the concept of incomplete dominance of inheritance. Mendelian inheritance theory, on the other hand, focuses on the complete dominance of characters in the process of inheritance.
