How is co-dominance different from incomplete dominance

Answer Posted / manmeet

co dominance - both the alleles being considered are able to produce their effect in the morphology of the organism and none is able to hide the effect of the other. e.g.. AB blood group in humans

incomplete dominance - both the alleles are able to produce their effects but the effect of one allele is more pronounced than the other. e.g. pink flower color in antirrhinum majus produced from the allele for red color and the allele for white color.

Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?

In sesame, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant over wrinkled leaf (l). The two characters are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two plants which produce the following progeny: 318 one- pod normal, 98 one-pod wrinkled, 323 three-pod normal and 104 three-pod wrinkled.
