Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. identify the pattern of inheritance in the described traits. incomplete dominance polygenic inheritance codominance 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

Explanation:

1. For "a flower with red and white spots obtained after crossing red and white flowers": In codominance, both alleles are expressed simultaneously, resulting in both traits (red and white spots here) being visible.
2. For "an orange cat obtained after crossing a white cat and a brown cat mate": In incomplete dominance, the offspring shows a blend of the two parental traits (orange is a blend of white and brown here).
3. For "different skin tones in humans observed around the world": Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes contributing to a trait, and human skin tone is controlled by multiple genes, leading to a range of phenotypes.

Answer:

• a flower with red and white spots obtained after crossing red and white flowers: codominance
• an orange cat obtained after crossing a white cat and a brown cat mate: incomplete dominance
• different skin tones in humans observed around the world: polygenic inheritance
