GENETICS QUESTION

A population living around Castle beach and the Crystal lake show high similarities in all aspects of growth, development, and morphology. The population living at Castle beach are bright red and the population at Crystal lake are gold.

If we allow these populations to mix, what would we expect to see in the next generation if the coloration is inherited in an incomplete dominance pattern?

Answer 1

In this question, we are looking at two populations having high similarities between all aspects of growth, development and morphology.

Castle beach population is bright red (RR genotype) and crystal lake population is gold (GG genotype)

Trait under study is coloration is inherited as incomplete dominance.if we mix population.

In trait inherited with incomplete dominance, heterozygous (RG genotype) will have third type of phenotype (neither bright red nor gold) but complete mixture of both Orange with metallic sheen
