A kitten has spots and stripes. The mother has stripes and the father has spots. Which law of inheritance does this show?
|
|
incomplete dominance
|
|
|
codominance
|
|
|
multiple alleles
|
|
|
polygenic inheritance
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Incomplete dominance is when the phenotypes of the two parents blend together to create a new phenotype for their offspring. An example is a white flower and a red flower producing pink flowers. Codominance is when the two parent phenotypes are expressed together in the offspring.
Detailed explanation-2: -In plants, for example, the color trait of the flower will depend on the type of allele inherited by the offspring. Each parent plant transfers one of the alleles to their offspring. And these sets of alleles in the offspring will depend on the chromosomes of the two gametes uniting at fertilization.
