In a type of fish there are two alleles for color, yellow and white. When mixed, it results In a color pattern that is yellow and white striped. What cross will give you 100% striped fish? Is this incomplete dominance or codominance? Why?​

Answer:

ne exception is incomplete dominance (sometimes called blending inheritance) when alleles blend their traits in the phenotype. An example of this would be seen if, when crossing Antirrhinums — flowers with incompletely dominant "red" and "white" alleles for petal color — the resulting offspring had pink petals.

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Step-by-step explanation:

A phenotypic "blending" of two traits is referred to as incomplete dominance, indicating that neither trait is truly dominant over the other. Instead of one color overpowering expression of the other, both colors are expressed simultaneously.

Codominance suggests that both phenotypes are dominant, but cannot be expressed at the same time. The result of codominance would be regions of dominant red expression and regions of dominant white expression, resulting in spots rather than blending.
