When two dissimilar alleles are both expressed as a trait in a cross, the resulting trait is known as?

I was answering a questionnaire once and I came upon this question. My answer was dominant, however, when I checked the answers key, the correct answer was recessive.





Can anybody explain to me why this is so?

When two dissimilar alleles are both expressed as a trait in a cross, the resulting trait is known as?
I agree with Ford D. The answer would be Incomplete dominance or Codominance . An example would be ABO blood grouping where A %26amp; B are both expressed in blood group AB.





Hope this helps!

Reply:If you've got two different alleles and they are both being expressed, then you have a case of either INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE or CODOMINANCE.





There is a subtle difference between the two which I can explain if you like?
Reply:try to checkout the questionnaire..ir try to ask the one who made the answer key..'coz no matter what, they're dissimilar alleles, so meaning one is D and the other is d..since D exists, it must be dominant
Reply:It should have been heterozygous dominant i would have thought. Was it a reliable questionnaire?
