Solution
The correct option is B Codominant alleles
- Codominant alleles are the alleles that show the independent effect and both the alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype of the organism e.g., blood grouping (AB blood group).
- Complementary genes are non-allelic genes that independently show a similar effect but produce a new trait when they are present together in the dominant form.
- Supplementary genes are a pair of non-allelic genes that produce their effect independently in the dominant state while the dominant allele of the second gene (supplementary gene) needs the presence of another gene for its expression.
- Epistasis can occur when a recessive genotype masks the actions of another gene.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
- Codominant alleles are the alleles that show the independent effect and both the alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype of the organism e.g., blood grouping (AB blood group).
- Complementary genes are non-allelic genes that independently show a similar effect but produce a new trait when they are present together in the dominant form.
- Supplementary genes are a pair of non-allelic genes that produce their effect independently in the dominant state while the dominant allele of the second gene (supplementary gene) needs the presence of another gene for its expression.
