In Drosophila, the heterozygote(w/w*) exceeds in quality of fluorescent pigment in eyes than wild (w+/w*) or white eye (w/w), this kind of dominance is termed as -
Correct answer: D. Over Dominance
- A. Co-Dominance
- B. Complete Dominance
- C. Incomplete Dominance
- D. Over Dominance
Explanation
In overdominance, heterozygous individuals have a survival or reproductive advantage over homozygous individuals. This can lead to increased genetic diversity within a population.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
