NEET2018ZoologyPrinciples of Inheritance and VariationActual
Which of the following characteristics represent 'Inheritance of blood groups' in humans? i. Dominance ii. Co-dominance iii. Multiple alleles iv. Incomplete dominance v. Polygenic inheritance
Options
- Aii, iv and v
- Bi, ii and iii
- Cii, iii and v
- Di, iii and v
Correct answer
B. i, ii and iii
Step-by-step solution
Dominance -( I A I O , I B I O )- the phenomenon whereby, in an individual containing two allelic forms of a gene, one is expressed to the exclusion of the other. Codominance -( I A I B )- a form of dominance wherein the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed. This results in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. Multiple alleles- I A , I B & I O - 3-different allelic forms of a gene.
