When neither of two alleles is dominant,the resulting trait reflects the influence of both.This is called
A) polygenic inheritance.
B) dominant inheritance.
C) codominance.
D) recessive inheritance.
Codominance
A genetic scenario where two alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.
Alleles
Variants of a gene that exist on the same place on a chromosome and determine distinct traits that can be passed from parents to offspring.
Polygenic Inheritance
A pattern of inheritance where multiple genes are involved in determining a trait or characteristic.
