Question

How is incomplete dominance and co-dominance different from a normal Mendelian cross?

  1. There is only one phenotype independent of the genotype.

  2. There is no difference at all.

  3. There is no heterozygous genotype.

  4. The heterozygous genotype has a distinct phenotype.

hintHint:

The physical trait of an organism depends on the genotype.

The correct answer is:

The heterozygous genotype has a distinct phenotype.


    • The unit of heredity is gene, which is made up of two alleles.
    • The two alleles can be same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
    • In heterozygous alleles, one allele will be dominant over the other.
    • In case of incomplete dominance, dominant allele will not mask the effect of the recessive allele.
    • In co-dominance, neither of the allele is dominant nor recessive and both of them express themselves completely.
