Question
Explain the statement of Law of dominance is not universal.
Solution
- According to the law of dominance, when two homozygous individuals with one or more sets of contrasting characters are crossed, the alleles (characters) that appear in F1 are dominant and those which do not appear in F1 are recessive.
- In many cases, the dominance is not complete or absent. This can be explained by two deviations of Mendel’s law of dominance: Incomplete dominance and codominance. Thus, the law of dominance is significant and true, but it is not universally applicable.
