Long-tailed dogs and short-tailed dogsproduce offspring with medium-length tail is an example of
A
dominant-recessive
B
incomplete dominance
C
polygenic inheritance
D
multiple allele
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Long-tailed dogs and short-tailed dogs produce offspring with medium-length tails-Incomplete dominance. 2. There are two possible colors for a flower and one is more common than the other-dominant-recessive.

Detailed explanation-2: -When none of the factors of a gene is dominant, the phenotype of a heterozygous dominant individual is a blend of dominant and recessive traits. This is called as incomplete dominance. For example, flower colour in Mirabilis jalapa. The red flower is the dominant character and the white flower is recessive character.

Detailed explanation-3: -An Andalusian chicken (found in Spain) is an example of incomplete dominance. An offspring produced shows incomplete dominance in its feathers as the parents (a white feathered male and a black feathered female chicken) breeds to produce an offspring with blue and tinged feathers.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Examples of codominance in animals include speckled chickens, which have alleles for both black and white feathers, and roan cattle, which express alleles for both red hair and white hair. Codominance is also seen in plants.
