Both versions of the trait are expressed in the phenotype of the offspring. Which pattern of inheritance best classifies the observed trait?A. dominanceb. sex-linkagec. co-dominance d. incomplete dominance
2. An organism that has inherited two of the same alleles of a gene from its parents is ______________ for that trait. a. hereditary b. heterozygous c. homozygous d. hemizygous
