A gene showing codominance-

Select one:

a. has alleles that are recessive to each other

b. has alleles expressed at the same time in development

c. has alleles tightly linked on the same chromosome

d. has one allele dominant to the other

e. has both alleles independently expressed in the heterozygote

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer is (e).

in codominance, both the alleles of a gene express themselves in heterozygotes. as a result heterozygotes for such genes possess the phenotype produced by both the alleles of such genes.

eg. An example of codominance that occurs in humans is that of blood type.

Why is it that lethal recessive alleles remain in the human gene pool, rather than just disappearing because of their unfavorable phenotype for homozygous recessives? Scenario: A sudden flood of a large area around the Mississippi River occurs. In some local populations of a species of insects, there is greater buoyancy and survival of some individuals due to having the double recessive genotype of a gene that allowed them to accumulate more lipids to float. A year after the flood,...
