Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When the offspring has a mix or blend of the parents’ traits.
A
Codominance
B
Incomplete Dominance
C
Complete Dominance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The phenomenon in which two true-breeding parents crossed to produce an intermediate offspring (also known as heterozygous) is called incomplete dominance. It is also referred to as partial dominance or intermediate inheritance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Incomplete dominance occurs when neither trait is truly dominant over the other. This means that both traits can be expressed in the same regions, resulting a blending of two phenotypes. If a white and black dog produce a gray offspring, this is an example of incomplete dominance.

Detailed explanation-3: -When offspring show a blend of the parents’ traits, one allele is dominant over the other. In complete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype lies somewhere between the two homozygous phenotypes. A heterozygous individual that exhibits the traits of both parents is an example of codominance.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is Incomplete Dominance? Incomplete dominance is a form of Gene interaction in which both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate or different phenotype. It is also known as partial dominance.

Detailed explanation-5: -Incomplete dominance results from a cross in which each parental contribution is genetically unique and gives rise to progeny whose phenotype is intermediate. Incomplete dominance is also referred to as semi-dominance and partial dominance.
