Qulz Active TIME REMAINING 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 51:20 Which inheritance pattern results when parents with pure traits are crossed and the resulting offspring have traits that appear to be a blend of the parents' traits? incomplete dominance codominance Mendelian inheritance polygenic inheritance

The correct inheritance pattern described in your question is **incomplete dominance**. **Incomplete Dominance** occurs when neither allele is completely dominant over the other. Instead of one trait being fully expressed and the other being hidden (as in classic Mendelian inheritance), the resulting phenotype is a blend of both parental traits. For example, if a red-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant, the offspring may have pink flowers, which is a blend of red and white. **Why the Other Options Are Not Correct:** - **Codominance:** In codominance, both alleles are fully expressed simultaneously without blending. An example is the AB blood type, where both A and B alleles are expressed equally. - **Mendelian Inheritance:** This refers to the pattern of inheritance where traits are governed by dominant and recessive alleles, leading to clear dominant and recessive traits without blending. - **Polygenic Inheritance:** This involves multiple genes contributing to a single trait, resulting in a wide range of phenotypes, such as human height or skin color, rather than a simple blend of two traits. **Answer:** incomplete dominance
