Question

If the traits of two alleles blend together and express then the inheritance pattern is:

  1. Incomplete dominance

  2. Co-dominance

  3. Complete dominance

  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Dominant allele does not suppress the expression of the recessive allele.

The correct answer is:

Incomplete dominance


    • If the traits of two alleles blend together and then express themselves, the inheritance pattern is called as incomplete dominance.
    • Here, dominant and recessive genes are present. But the dominant gene does not suppress the action of the recessive gene completely.
    • The offspring will have a phenotype that is a mixture of both the alleles
    • Example of incomplete dominance is a cross between red and white flowers which produces pink flower which is an intermediate phenotype in the case of Mirabilis Jalapa or Snapdragon.
