Question

Identify the pattern of inheritance in the described traits.

Tiles

incomplete dominance
polygenic inheritance
codominance

Pairs
a flower with red and white
spots obtained after crossing
red and white flowers

an orange cat obtained after
crossing a white cat and a
brown cat mate

different skin tones in humans
observed around the world


Put the correct tiles in order

Answer 1

incomplete dominance refers to pair number 2 about orange cat
polygenic inheritance for pair number 3
codominance for pair number 1

Answer 2

The right order is

incomplete dominance ==> 2

polygenic inheritance ==> 3

codominance ==> 1

Many physical characters depend on many different factors, each of which is determined by different genes. This is called polygenic inheritance.

Codminance: The phenotype of each allele is expressed simultaneously in heterozygotes.

Incomplete Dominance: An intermediate phenotype is obtained between the two dominant alleles.
