Question

Greg is breeding leopard geckos and wants to produce a new color morph. He crosses a homozygous red morph with a homozygous white morph and their offspring are white with red spots. Greg is now fabulously wealthy. What type of genetic pattern do these leopard geckos display?

O Pleiotropy
O Incomplete dominance
O Multiple allelism
O Epistasis
O Codominance

Answer 1

Codominance

Step-by-step explanation:

Codominance occurs when two heterozygous allele for a trait is expressed equally in the an organism's phenotype with neither allele being dominant or recessive. In codominance, none of the allele hides the expression of the other allele. So when two alleles are crossed, the offspring carries a combination of the parents phenotype without anyone masking the other.

From the question, the type of genetic pattern of the leopard geckos display is codominance.
