Options
- Aa - ii; b - i; c - iv; d - iii
- Ba - ii; b - iii; c - iv; d - i
- Ca - iv; b - i; c - ii; d - iii
- Da - iv; b - iii; c - i; d - ii
Correct answer
B. a - ii; b - iii; c - iv; d - i
Step-by-step solution
Dominance- In a heterozygous organism, only one allele expresses itself. Codominance- In a heterozygous organism, both alleles express themselves equally. Pleiotropy- A single gene influences many characters. Polygenic Inheritance- Many genes govern a single character.
