Biology Question on Principles of Inheritance and Variation
When dominant and recessive allels express itself together it is called
A
Co-dominance
B
Dominance
C
Amphidominance
D
Pseudo dominance
Answer
Co-dominance
Explanation
Solution
Co-dominance is a genetic phenomenon in which both alleles at a particular gene locus are fully expressed, resulting in a distinct phenotype that combines the characteristics of both alleles. This is different from simple dominance, where one allele masks the expression of the other (recessive) allele. So, the correct option is (A): Co-dominance
