Which idea is depicted by a cross in which the F1
generation resembles both the parents?
- Alaw of dominance
- Bco-dominance
- Cincomplete dominance
- Dinheritance of one gene
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
In codominance, both the alleles are able to express themselves independently when present together resulting in a phenotype that is intermediate between both the parental homozygous phenotypes, thereby resembling both of them. E.g., roan coat colour in cattle is a result of co-dominance of alleles for white and red coat colour.
