Question -

Explain the following terms with example
(a) Co-dominance      (b) Incomplete dominance



Answer -

1. Co-dominance – These are the alleles that are able to express themselves independently when found together in a heterozygote. They are termed as co-dominant alleles.
2. Incomplete dominance – it is the phenomenon of inheritance where none of the contrasting characters in a pair are dominant. In the F1 hybrid, the expression of the trait is a fine mixture of the expression of the two factors. For instance, the Mirabilis jalapa produces pink flowers when a hybrid cross between a red and white flower is carried out.
