Question
A blue horse and a yellow horse have a green offspring. This is an example of which type of inheritance? Group of answer choicesCo-dominanceIncomplete dominanceSex-linkedPolygenicMultiple alleles
Solution
This is an example of Incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles. In this case, the blue and yellow horses (the parents) are not completely dominant over each other, resulting in a green offspring.
