Match the columns and choose the correct option
I | II | ||
(a) | Dominance | (i) | Many genes govern a single character |
(b) | Codominance | (ii) | In a heterozygous organism only one allele expresses itself |
(c) | Pleiotropy | (iii) | In a heterozygous organism both alleles express themselves fully |
(d) | Polygenic inheritance | (iv) | A single gene influences many characters. |
a)Dominance – In a heterozygous organism only one allele express itself
b)Codominance – in a heterozygous organism both alleles express themselves fully
c)Pleiotrophy – A single gene influences many characters.
d)Polygenic inheritance – Many genes govern a single character.
So, the correct option is ‘a-ii b-iii c-iv d-I’.
