CODOMINANCE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If an organism with a homozygous dominant trait was mated in a test cross, all the F1 offspring would be
A
homozygous dominant
B
homozygous recessive
C
heterozygous
D
50% homozygous;50% heterozygous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They are called incomplete dominance.

Detailed explanation-2: -To identify whether the F1 hybrid is homozygous or heterozygous (hybrid), we can use a test cross with the first generation. In a test cross, a cross takes place in between a homozygous recessive trait and an unknown genotype (homozygous or heterozygous).

Detailed explanation-3: -The answer is 50%. Assume that the homozygous recessive trait is denoted by aa and the heterozygote is Aa.

Detailed explanation-4: -If all of the offspring produced express the dominant trait, the individual in question is homozygous for the dominant allele.
