In the case of incomplete dominance in Snapdragon, the F2 generation resulted in a phenotypic ratio of 1 Red : 2 Pink : 1 White, which is identical to the _______ ratio.
In incomplete dominance, the genotype ratios (1:2:1) were exactly as expected in a Mendelian monohybrid cross.

Question 236 of 519

When starch grain size in pea seeds is considered as the phenotype, the alleles B and b show _______ dominance, as the heterozygotes produce intermediate size grains.
If starch grain size is considered as the phenotype, then the alleles show incomplete dominance because the starch grains produced are of intermediate size in Bb seeds.
Question 237 of 519

A classic example of pleiotropy in humans is the disease _______, caused by mutation in the gene coding for phenyl alanine hydroxylase.
