One complicated type of inheritance pattern is _____, in which a phenotype is expressed that is in between the two alleles.
A) codominance
B) incomplete dominance
C) linkage
D) pleiotropy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that is intermediate to the two alleles. For example, in snapdragons, the red flower allele and the white flower allele are incompletely dominant, resulting in pink flowers. Codominance involves both alleles being expressed fully without blending, and pleiotropy refers to a single gene having multiple effects on the phenotype. Linkage refers to genes being located close together on a chromosome and often being inherited together.
