Explanation / Answer

Ans. #3. Since the phenotype of the progeny (heterozygote) exhibits the phenotype of both the parents, red stripes – green stripes- it’s case of co-dominance.

Co-dominance: The heterozygote expresses both the alleles simultaneously and its phenotype co-displays the traits controlled by the constituent genotype.

The phenotypes of heterozygote exhibits some part of dominance allele and some part of recessive allele. So, both the dominant and recessive phenotypes are simultaneously visible in the heterozygous individual. It is unlike incomplete dominance where the heterozygote displays uniform intermediate phenotype.

#4. Since the phenotype of the progeny (heterozygote) exhibits a uniform intermediate phenotype - it’s case of incomplete dominance.

Incomplete/ Partial Dominance: The phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate of the homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive phenotypes. The intermediate phenotypes is a uniform/homogenous mixture of two phenotypes, thus the dominant and recessive phenotypes are not distinguishable.
