Solution

The correct option is C (ii), (iii) and (iv)
  • Incomplete (partial or mosaic) dominance is the phenomenon where none of the two contrasting alleles or factors is dominant. The expression of the character in a hybrid or F1 individual is intermediate or a fine mixture of the expression of the two factors (as found in the homozygous state). Incomplete or mosaic inheritance is not an example of the pre-Mendelian concept of blending inheritance because the parental types reappear in the F2 generation. So, this statement is incorrect.
