Incorrect: A and D, A and D and E
| a. | Co-dominance | |
| b. | Multiple genes affecting one phenotype | |
| c. | Many alleles of a gene present in a population | |
| d. | Redundancy | |
| e. | Independent assortment | |
| f. | Environmental effects on expressivity |
Solution
Answer: A, D and E.
Multiple alleles or polygenic affect involves in the generation of continuous traits. These are also called as polygenic traits or quantitative traits. This also affected by environmental change.
Co-dominance, redundancy and independent assortment is observed in discontinuous or discrete type of inheritance.
