How is co-dominance different from incomplete dominance
Answer Posted / manmeet
co dominance - both the alleles being considered are able to produce their effect in the morphology of the organism and none is able to hide the effect of the other. e.g.. AB blood group in humans
incomplete dominance - both the alleles are able to produce their effects but the effect of one allele is more pronounced than the other. e.g. pink flower color in antirrhinum majus produced from the allele for red color and the allele for white color.

In the definition of mutation we say sudden heritable change i the DNA, so what does sudden means here?
what is virgin sex?
A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?
What is your personal opinion regarding genetic engineering and human cloning?
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?

In sesame, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant over wrinkled leaf (l). The two characters are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two plants which produce the following progeny: 318 one- pod normal, 98 one-pod wrinkled, 323 three-pod normal and 104 three-pod wrinkled.

Is There any way in which a currently living could be mutated in reality to such a large scale as to which others could see the mutation, such as a third arm?
The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A, the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How would you respond to the following statements of the attornies: a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child must have come from the father and since my client is type B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by the attorney of the alleged father. b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's attorney.
