A cross of two medium height hybrid plants produces offspring that are dwarf, medium, and tall in a ratio of 1:2:1. This is an example of

A) variegation.
B) hybrid vigor.
C) incomplete dominance.
D) epistasis.
E) a polygenic trait.

Polygenic Trait

A trait that is influenced by multiple genes, often resulting in a continuous range of possible phenotypes.

Dwarf

In botany, refers to a variety of plants that are much smaller than the typical size for their species, often genetically engineered or selected for such a trait.

Medium

Medium can refer to a substance or environment in which something exists or grows, or it can refer to material or means used to convey information or artistic expression.

  • Apply insights into genetic concepts to predict the results of genetic intercrosses, especially those entailing multiple alleles and polygenic inheritance.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Incomplete dominance is when the phenotype of the heterozygotes is intermediate between the phenotypes of the homozygotes, as seen in the 1:2:1 ratio of dwarf, medium, and tall plants.
