In the generation, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are identical in ____.
Options
- AMendelian monohybrid cross
- BPleiotropy
- CCo-dominance
- DMultiple alleles
Correct answer
C. Co-dominance
Step-by-step solution
In a Mendelian monohybrid cross, the phenotypic ratio in the generation is , whereas the genotypic ratio is .
In the case of co-dominance (and incomplete dominance), the heterozygous condition produces a distinct phenotype where both alleles are expressed equally. When two heterozygotes are crossed, the generation yields a genotypic ratio of (homozygous dominant : heterozygous : homozygous recessive) and a phenotypic ratio of .
Thus, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are identical in co-dominance.
Answer: Co-dominance
In the case of co-dominance (and incomplete dominance), the heterozygous condition produces a distinct phenotype where both alleles are expressed equally. When two heterozygotes are crossed, the generation yields a genotypic ratio of (homozygous dominant : heterozygous : homozygous recessive) and a phenotypic ratio of .
Thus, the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are identical in co-dominance.
Answer: Co-dominance
