Question

In certain organisms, the inheritance of traits does not follow Mendel's Rule of Dominance, where one allele is completely dominant over the other. This can occur in cases of incomplete dominance or codominance. Which of the following examples illustrates codominance?

Options

A
    In snapdragon flowers, when a red flower (RR) is crossed with a white flower (WW), the offspring are pink (RW).
B
    In human blood types, when an individual inherits an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other, they exhibit both A and B antigens on their red blood cells (AB).
C
    In pea plants, when a yellow seed (YY) is crossed with a green seed (yy), the offspring are all yellow (Yy).
D
    In horses, a red coat (RR) crossed with a white coat (WW) results in offspring with a palomino coat (RW).
