Q

Incomplete dominance Vs codominance

A

Incomplete dominance is when the alleles from the parents mix together and create something new but co dominance is when they are both there and present but not mixed and equally

Q

How are the differences between the X and Y chromosomes responsible for sex-linked traits

A

Because they do not have the same structure so the X can carry more genes and so XY is missing some genes
