Question

-Incomplete Dominance
-Codominance
-Mendelian

Answer 1

Answer:-Incomplete Dominance

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Incomplete Dominance

Step-by-step explanation:

Several inheritance patterns exist which do not follow Mendel's inheritance pattern called NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE. Some of them are incomplete dominance, co-dominance etc.

Incomplete dominance is a situation whereby two alleles of a gene are neither dominant nor recessive over one another, hence, they combine in an heterozygous state to form an intermediate third phenotype that is different from both parent's phenotypes.

This is the case in this otters that have brown and white phenotypes (colour). However, they combine to make a new 3rd phenotype.
