MCQ
A gene showing codominance has
- Aalleles that are recessive to each other
- ✓both alleles independently expressed in the heterozygote
- Cone allele dominant on the other
- Dalleles tightly linked on the same chromosome.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
both alleles independently expressed in the heterozygote
b
(b) : The phenomenon of expression of both the alleles in a heterozygote is called codominance. The alleles which do not show dominancerecessive relationship and are able to express themselves independently when present together are called codominant alleles. As a result the heterozygous condition has a phenotype different from either of homozygous genotypes, $e.g.$, alleles for blood group $A\ (I^A)$ and for blood group $B\ (I^B)$ are codominant so that when they come together in an individual, they produce blood group $AB$.
