What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together?
|
|
Incomplete Dominance
|
|
|
Co-Dominance
|
|
|
Mendelian Inheritance (Complete Dominance)
|
|
|
Homozygous Inheritance
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Codominance. Codominance refers to the dominance in which the two alleles or traits of the genotypes (of both homozygotes) are expressed together in offspring (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: -Incomplete Dominance During Mendel’s time, people believed in a concept of blending inheritance whereby offspring demonstrated intermediate phenotypes between those of the parental generation. This was refuted by Mendel’s pea experiments that illustrated a Law of Dominance.
