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 pure - bred parents are crossed, the offspring show a blended phenotype. For example, crossing a red - flowered plant and a white - flowered plant may result in pink - flowered offspring. In codominance, both parental traits are expressed simultaneously. Mendelian inheritance typically involves dominant and recessive traits with clear - cut dominance. Polygenic inheritance is related to multiple genes influencing a trait.

Answer:

incomplete dominance
