Intermediate inheritance refers to either codominance or incomplete dominance.

Codominance refers to a condition in which two alleles of a locus are expressed in a heterozygote. For example, if white cow and a red cow bred they would produce a roan (a mix of red and white) calf because the red and white colors would be expressed independently (hair by hair).

Incomplete dominance is a condition in which neither member of a pair of contrasting alleles is complete expressed when the other is present. For example, if a red flower and a white flower bred to produce a plant with pink flower, this would be an example of codominance because both the red and the white alleles were expressed.

How do alleles interact in intermediate inheritance?

The split between 2 volcanic atoms that form when alleles break up and migrate to another gene pool.


Explain the difference between intermediate inheritance and codominance?

In codominance, neither phenotype is recessive. Instead, the heterozygous individual expresses bothphenotypes. Intermediate inheritance is when neither allele is dominant to another, but a mixture is produced in the 2 alleles present. A mixed phenotype is given that is between the two parents phenotype .e.g Red flowers (RR) crossed with white flowers (WW) produces pink flowers (RW).


Explain why a trait inherited by incomplete dominance such as the color of appoloosa horses is not a blend of two alleles?

The inheritance of a dominant and a recessive allele results in a blending of traits to produce intermediate characteristics.


Inheritence and its types in object oriented programmings?

There are only two types of inheritance in object oriented programming: Single inheritance: where a class inherits directly from just one base class. Multiple inheritance: where a class inherits directly from two or more base classes. Multi-level inheritance is often thought of as being a separate type of inheritance, however inheritance relates to a derived class and those that it directly inherits from. If a base class is itself a derived class (an intermediate class), then its base class or classes are simply indirect base classes of the derivative. But in isolation, the intermediate class either uses single or multiple inheritance, even if its base class or classes are also intermediates. Virtual inheritance is also thought of as being a separate type, however virtual inheritance doesn't change the relationship between classes within the hierarchy. the only difference virtual inheritance makes is that the virtual base class or classes are constructed by the most-derived class within the current hierarchy, rather than by their most direct descendants. In this way, only one instance of each virtual base exists in the hierarchy, rather than multiple instance as would normally exist. The actual inheritance is still single or multiple, however.


Does hybrid inheritance consist of ANY two types of inheritance?

There are only two types of inheritance to begin with: single inheritance and multiple inheritance. Since they are mutually exclusive there is no such thing as hybrid inheritance.

If an offspring shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes of the parents what is this type of inheritance?

Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.
