Question

12
an individual inherits the alleles c1 and c2 for the c gene. both alleles encode functional proteins and are fully expressed in each cell. select the term that describes the expression of the c gene.
multiple choice
homozygous recessive
pleiotropy
codominance
sex - linked
incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Codominance is a situation where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed. Incomplete dominance shows a blended phenotype. Sex - linked refers to genes on sex chromosomes. Pleiotropy is when one gene affects multiple traits. Homozygous recessive is a genotype. Since the question describes both alleles (c1 and c2) being fully expressed, codominance is the correct term.

Answer:

Codominance
