Match the genetic term with the best description: incomplete dominance phenotype of the heterozygote codominance both alleles are equally expressed pleiotropy single gene can have multiple effects epistasis a gene at one locus alters the expression of a gene at another locus polygenic inheritance additive effect of 2 or more genes
Sri K.
A single phenotype that results from a combination of two different genes in which one gene interferes with the expression of another gene is known as (a) pleiotropy. (b) complete dominance. (c) incomplete dominance. (d) codominance. (e) epistasis.
Two or more different forms of a gene are called: Phenotypes Chromosomes Genotypes Alleles What is the relationship between two alleles in which heterozygous individuals have a phenotype that is different from either homozygous phenotype: Complete Dominance Incomplete dominance Epistasis Codominance A true breeding black moth is mated with a true breeding white moth. The resulting offspring are blue in color. This is an example of what mode of heredity: Codominance Complete Dominance Incomplete Dominance All of the Above
