Questions and Answers

What characterizes co-dominance in genetics?

  • Only one allele is expressed.
  • Alleles do not interact with each other.
  • One allele completely masks the other.
  • Both alleles are expressed equally. (correct)
  • In a plant exhibiting co-dominance, which phenotype might you observe?

  • Flowers with only red petals.
  • Flowers with a gradient of color.
  • Flowers that are green.
  • Flowers with both pink and white petals. (correct)
  • In a co-dominant relationship, which statement is true?

  • Only dominant alleles can be expressed.
  • The alleles function independently of one another.
  • Both alleles contribute to the phenotype. (correct)
