Question

Semi-dominance or partial dominance is also known as:

  1. Incomplete dominance

  2. Co-dominance

  3. Complete dominance

  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Neither of the allele is completely dominant or recessive in this type.

The correct answer is:

Incomplete dominance


    • Incomplete dominance refers to semi or partial dominance.
    • Neither of the alleles making up the gene is dominant or recessive.
    • The phenotype of the offspring will be the mixture of phenotypes of both the alleles.
    • Example is cross between red and white flowers which produces pink flower in the case of Snapdragon and Mirabilis jalapa.

    In case of co-dominance:

    • A, B and O are alleles responsible for blood groups.
    • Neither of the allele is completely dominant over other.
    • Example: For a person with AB blood group, the expression of both A and B alleles occurs.
