Question

You discover a new sunflower that has blue flowers instead of yellow. When you cross this blue variety with a common yellow variety you get blue and yellow speckled flowers. What type of inheritance pattern does this gene exhibit?a. incomplete dominance.

b. codominance.
c. simple Mendelian inheritance.
d. either incomplete dominance or codominance.
e. sex-influenced dominance.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: B) codominance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Codominance is a type of inheritance pattern that describes the relationship of two variations of the same gene: this means that in an individual, its two alleles manifest in the phenotype.

If a sunflower has both blue AND yellow speckles, it means that the two possible alleles are in a relationship, which makes these alleles CODOMINANT.
