How are dominance, codominance and incomplete dominance patterns of inheritance different from each other ? |
|
Answer» Dominance In diploid organism, there are two copies of each gene, i, e. a pair of alleles. Now, these two alleles need not always be identical, as in a heterozygote. One of them may be different due to some changes that it has undergone which modifies the information that particular allele contains. Co-dominance The `F_1` resembled either of the two parents, was in between. But, in the case of co-dominance the `F_1` generation resembles both parents. A good example is red blood cells that determine ABO bllood grouping in human beings. ABO blood group are controlled by the gene I In coinplete dominance When experiments on peas were repeatedu sing other traits in other plants, it was found that sometimes the `F_1` had a phenotype that did not resemble either of the parents and was in between the two. The inheritance of flower colour in the dog flower is a good example to understand incomplete dominance. |
