Ex.5.
4.5 11.5.2 Choose the correct item.
Non-Mendelian Genetics Mendel's research was only the beginning. Scientists have also discovered other ways in which 1) genes/gametes can be inherited. One example is called incomplete 2) variance/dominance; this is when two 3) alleles/cells produce a blended 4) trait/offspring (e.g. red+white = pink). Another example is co-dominance when two or more alleles are 5) dominant/recessive and can both be seen (e.g. red+white = red + white). Finally, there are sex-linked traits; these are 6) passed/inherited on from one 7) generation/offspring to the next, but are often only seen in members of one sex.​
