Which idea is depicted by a cross in which the F1 generation resembles both the parents?
Correct answer: B. Co-dominance
- A. Inheritance of one gene
- B. Co-dominance
- C. Incomplete dominance
- D. Complete dominance
Explanation
In codominance, both the alleles are able to express themselves independently when present together resulting in a phenotype that is intermediate between both the parental homozygous phenotypes, thereby resembling both of them.

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.

If two persons with 'AB' blood group marry and have a sufficiently large number of children, these children could be classified as 'A' blood group: 'AB' blood group: 'B' blood group in 1: 2:1 ratio. The modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals the presence of both 'A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of
