Question
what kind of inheritance occurs if red flowers crossed with white flowers produce offspring with red patches and white patches on their flower petals?
○ codominance
○ recessive
○ incomplete dominance
○ x - linked
○ dominant
Codominance is the inheritance pattern where both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype, resulting in patches of both parental traits (red and white here). Recessive/dominant involve one allele masking the other; incomplete dominance produces a blended trait (e.g., pink flowers); X-linked relates to sex chromosomes, not the described patchy expression. Thus, codominance is correct.
