Which statement best describes codominance and incomplete dominance?

This question lacks options, the options are;

A) In codominance and incomplete dominance, both of the alleles are dominant.

B) In codominance and incomplete dominance, neither of the alleles are dominant.

C) In codominance, both of the alleles are dominant; in incomplete dominance, neither of the alleles is dominant.

D) In codominance, neither of the alleles is dominant; in incomplete dominance, both of the alleles are dominant.

The answer is C

Explanation:

Codominance and incomplete dominance are both a type of non-mendelian inheritance pattern i.e. patterns of inheritance that do not follow mendelian principles.

- In codominance, the alleles of a gene are both dominant and hence, both express themselves simultaneously for that trait. An example is the alleles A and B of the blood group in humans where both A and B are dominant in the gene.

- In incomplete dominance, neither of the two alleles of gene is dominant and none is recessive either. This means that the two alleles blend together to form an intermediate phenotype in a heterozygous offspring. An example is the pink flower in four o'clock plants resulting from the blending of red and white alleles.

question#1

ans:

cell is the basic unit of organization of all living things. cells are often called the building block of life and it is the smallest unit of life. the study of cell is called cell biology. cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within membrane, which contain bio-molecules such as proteins and nucleic acid.

two third of cell is water, which means that two-third of your whole body is water. the rest is the mixture of molecules, mainly proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.

question#2

ans:

organ:

an organ is a group of tissues specialized to form a functional unit. an example is the heart in animals.

organ system:

an organ system is a group of several organs whose functions are synchronized to release an effective action in a living organism. an example is digestive system.

question#3

different systems perform different function at tissue level. for example, the respiratory system facilitates breathing. in the alveoli tissue of the lungs, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules between the air and the bloodstream occurs by passive transport, so that oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide and water are removed. different systems of the body carry out different functions. for example, your digestive system is responsible for taking in and processing food, while your respiratory system working with your circulatory system is responsible for taking up oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.

question#4

different systems perform different function at tissue level. for example, the respiratory system facilitates breathing. in the alveoli tissue of the lungs, the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules between the air and the bloodstream occurs by passive transport, so that oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide and water are removed. different systems of the body carry out different functions. for example, your digestive system is responsible for taking in and processing food, while your respiratory system—working with your circulatory system is responsible for taking up oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.

question#5

our body works because of the interactions that happen between organs and organ systems.  

for example:  

the heart to regulate blood flow throughout the body. the blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells and carries carbon dioxide and waste away from the cells. body systems work together in maintaining a constant internal environment. when this balance is disrupted, the body systems may not function properly, and human health can suffer.   you start to feel bad.

a scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of endocytosis is when transporting large molecules. a scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of exocytosis is when releasing the large molecule from the cell.
