Can someone help to find these 3 answers? *MEDAL AND FAN WILL BE AWARDED*Choose the three possible answers that could explain how alleles expressed in heterozygotes interact to make a third phenotype, different from either homozygote.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a dominant relationship between alleles. There is a codominant relationship between alleles. There is an incomplete dominance between alleles. The trait is polygenetic in nature.

hey can u make a guess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hm , the first answer i would choose would be A , second would be B, and for final answer D

OpenStudy (petiteme):

good!

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

idk how 2 explain....but its everything except A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow i thought A was a definite answer ,

OpenStudy (petiteme):

i thought too :)

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

no...see if a particular allele is dominant then the phenotype or RR and Rr is the same...so no 3rd phenotype...

OpenStudy (petiteme):

But ohh well :) I got confused ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks for explaining :)

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

codominance is both the alleles expressed in patches..ie R-red r-white. then some patches red and some patches white incomplete dominance is Rr gives pink colour

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):
