Q. Starch synthesis gene in pea plant in heterozygous condition produces starch grain of intermediate size. This shows

A) Complete dominance
B) Incomplete dominance
C) Codominant
D) Dominant
Explanation

In starch synthesis gene following condition to seen BB – rounded (due to more starch synthesis) bb – wrinkled (due to less starch synthesis) Bb – in between rounded of wrinkled size. It produce starch of intermediate quantity between BB to bb homozygous condition. So, it is incomplete dominance. Therefore, dominance is not an autonomous feature of a gene or the product that it has information for. It depends as much on the gene product and the production of a particular phenotype from this product as it does on the particular phenotype that we choose to examine, in case more than one phenotype is influenced by the same gene
