In shorthorn cattle, the coat colours red or white are

controlled by a single pair of alleles. A calf which receives the
allele for red coat from its mother and the allele for white
coat from its father is called a 'roan'. It has an equal number
of red and white hairs in its coat. a) Is this an example of
codominance or of incomplete dominance? b) Give a reason
for your answer. c) With the help of genetic cross explain
what will be the consequent phenotype of the calf when i. red
is dominant over white ii. red is incompletely dominant.
a) Codominance
b) Codominance is a condition in which two different alleles for
a genetic trait are expressed. Individuals receive one version of
a gene, called an allele, from each parent.
c) i) If pure breeding red coated cattles are represented as ‘RR’
and pure breeding white coated as ‘rr’. If Red is dominant over
White. A cross between ‘RR’ and ‘rr’ would produce red coated
cattles (RR) and white coated cattle (rr) in the ratio of 3: 1
Assertion: When white eyed, yellow bodied Drosophila
females were hybridized with red eyed, brown-bodied males;
and F1 progeny was intercrossed, F2 ratio deviated from 9 : 3 :
3 : 1. Reason: When two genes in a dihybrid are on the same
chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combinations is
much higher than the non-parental type.A. Both A and R are
true and R is the correct explanation of A. B. Both A and R are
true and R is not the correct explanation of A. C. A is true but
R is false. D. A is False but R is true.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
A true breeding pea plant, homozygous dominant for inflated
green\ pods is crossed with another pea plant with
constricted yellow pods (ffgg). With the help of punnett
square show the above cross and mention the results
obtained phenotypically and genotypically in F1 generation?
