Question

Polydactyly in humans is an example of

  1. Complete penetrance

  2. Codominance

  3. Incomplete penetrance

  4. Genomic imprinting

hintHint:

Incomplete penetrance

The correct answer is:

Incomplete penetrance


    A dominant allele produces polydactyly in humans but not all humans with the Allele display the extra digits.
    In some cases, despite the presence of a dominant allele, a phenotype may not be present. One example of this is polydactyly in humans (extra fingers and/or toes). A dominant allele produces polydactyly in humans but not all humans with the allele display the extra digits. “Complete” penetrance means the gene or genes for a trait are expressed in all the population who have the genes. “Incomplete” or ‘reduced’ penetrance means the genetic trait is expressed in only part of the population.
