Question

which inheritance pattern results when parents with pure traits are crossed and the resulting offspring have traits that appear to be a blend of the parents traits?
○ incomplete dominance
○ codominance
○ mendelian inheritance
○ polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

In incomplete dominance, when parents with pure - breeding traits are crossed, the offspring show an intermediate or blended phenotype. For example, in snapdragons, crossing a pure - red flowered plant with a pure - white flowered plant results in pink - flowered offspring. In Mendelian inheritance, one allele is completely dominant over the other. Codominance results in both parental traits being expressed simultaneously in the offspring. Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes influencing a single trait.

Answer:

incomplete dominance
