The Correct Answer is- INCOMPLETEPENETRANCE
PENETRANCE-Penetrance is defined as the proportion of the individuals carrying a particular variant of a gene that is expressed as an associated trait.
COMPLETE PENETRNCE - when 100% of individuals in a population show the expected phenotype.
INCOMPLETE PENETRANCE- If some people with the mutation do not develop features of the disorder, the condition is said to have reduced (or incomplete) penetrance
Explanation of the other options-
Genetic Maternal effects- it is the condition which the organism(offspring) expresses a phenotype that is actually similar to the genotype.
Sex limited trait- A particular type of phenotypes that are only expressed in particular sex( either in male or female)
Genomic imprinting- A gene is said to be imprinted when one copy of the gene is expressible or functional and the other copy of the gene is switched off. This change occurs epigenetic modification of the genomic domain.
Variable expressivity- It is determined as the degree to which a particular combination of genotype expresses into a range of varying phenotypes.
Sex influenced trait- These are the phenotypes encoded by the autosomal chromosome, but the expression of which is influenced by the sex or the gender.
