You discover a new sunflower that has blue flowers instead of yellow. When you cross this blue variety with a common yellow variety you get blue and yellow speckled flowers. What type of inheritance pattern does this gene exhibit?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Codominance is the inheritance pattern where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, leading to offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive, but a combination of both. In this case, the blue and yellow speckled flowers result from the expression of both blue and yellow alleles together, indicating codominance.
