QQuestion
Prove the authenticity of the statement — “The phenotypic and genotypic ratio remain identical in case of Incomplete Dominance”.
✓Answer
The statement is not true. In incomplete dominance, the phenotypic ratio and genotypic ratio are different because the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. Therefore, the phenotypic ratio does not match the genotypic ratio.
