Question

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

a) In codominance, the phenotype of a heterozygous offspring is intermediate between that of the parents.
b) In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of a heterozygous offspring is a mixture of those of the parents.
c) Both A and B
d) Neither A nor B

Answer 1

The correct statement is that in codominance, the phenotype of a heterozygous offspring is intermediate between that of the parents.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of genetics, the statement that is true is a) In codominance, the phenotype of a heterozygous offspring is intermediate between that of the parents.

In codominance, both alleles are expressed simultaneously in the heterozygote, resulting in a phenotype that shows traits from both parents. This is different from incomplete dominance where the heterozygous phenotype is a mixture of the two homozygous phenotypes.
