CBSEENBI12047353

Which Mendelian idea is depicted by a cross in which the F1 generation resembles both the parents?

  • Incomplete dominance

  • Law of dominance

  • Inheritance of one gene

  • Codominance

Solution

D.

Codominance

In codominance, both alleles of a pair express themselves fully in F1 hybrid, so, it resembles both the parents.

In incomplete dominance, the two genes of allelomorphic pair are not related as dominant or recessive, but each of them express itself partially.

Law of dominance states that when a cross is made between two homozygous individuals considering contrasting trait of simple character then the trait appear in F1 hybrids is called dominant inheritance of one gene is based on crossing between single traits.
