Question

Biology
Explain the following terms with ex:
a. Co-Dominance
b. Incomplete Dominance ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Co-dominance is the phenomenon in which both the alleles of a contrasting character are expressed in heterozygous condition. Both the alleles of a gene are equally dominant. ABO blood group in human beings is an example of co-dominance. The blood group character is controlled by three sets of alleles, namely, IA, IB, and i. The alleles, IA and IB, are equally dominant and are said to be co¬¬-dominant as they are expressed in AB blood group. Both these alleles do not interfere with the expression of each other and produce their respective antigens. Hence, AB blood group is an example of co-dominance.

(b) Incomplete dominance

Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in which one allele shows incomplete dominance over the other member of the allelic pair for a character. For example, a monohybrid cross between the plants having red flowers and white flowers in Antirrhinum species will result in all pink flower plants in F1 generation. The progeny obtained in F1 generation does not resemble either of the parents and exhibits intermediate characteristics. This is because the dominant allele, R, is partially dominant over the other allele, r. Therefore, the recessive allele, r, also gets expressed in the F1 generation resulting in the production of intermediate pink flowering progenies with Rr genotype. Phenotypic and Genotypic ratio in F2 generation is always same in case of in complete dominance.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In complet dominance one allele is seen in phenotype.

In incomplete dominance a mixture of allele ar in found in phenotype.

ex - in complete parents have brown eye color then child may have brown eye colur.

how much I know I have said,I hope it's helpfull for u.
