Question

which inheritance pattern results when parents with pure traits are crossed and the resulting offspring have traits that appear to be a blend of the parents traits?
○ incomplete dominance
○ codominance
○ mendelian inheritance
○ polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

In incomplete dominance, when parents with pure traits are crossed, the offspring show a blend of the parents' traits. For example, in snap - dragons, crossing a pure - bred red - flowered plant and a pure - bred white - flowered plant results in pink - flowered offspring. In codominance, both traits are fully expressed in the offspring. Mendelian inheritance typically involves dominant and recessive traits where the dominant trait masks the recessive one in the heterozygous state. Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes contributing to a trait.

Answer:

Incomplete dominance
