If an individual does not show trait even though they have the appropriate genotype, the trait is said to exhibit
यदि कोई व्यक्ति उपयुक्त जीनोटाइप (genotype) होने के बावजूद लक्षण (trait) प्रदर्शित नहीं करता है, तो इस लक्षण को क्या कहा जाता है?
Penetrance vs. Expressivity:
- Penetrance: The proportion of individuals carrying a particular genotype who actually manifest the corresponding phenotype. When individuals possessing the genotype fail to express the phenotype, the trait exhibits Incomplete Penetrance.
- Expressivity: The degree or intensity with which a genotype is expressed phenotypically among individuals showing the trait (e.g., polydactyly having varied numbers of extra digits).
- Co-dominance: Both alleles are expressed equally in the heterozygote (e.g., AB blood group).
- Partial dominance: Heterozygote has an intermediate phenotype (e.g., pink flowers in Mirabilis jalapa).
Correct Answer: Option 2 (Incomplete penetrance).
विस्तृत व्याख्या:
Penetrance vs. Expressivity (प्रवेश्यता बनाम अभिव्यक्तित्व):
- Penetrance (प्रवेश्यता): The proportion of individuals carrying a particular genotype who actually manifest the corresponding phenotype. When individuals possessing the genotype fail to express the phenotype, the trait exhibits Incomplete Penetrance (अपूर्ण प्रवेश्यता).
- Expressivity (अभिव्यक्तित्व): The degree or intensity with which a genotype is expressed phenotypically among individuals showing the trait (e.g., polydactyly having varied numbers of extra digits).
- Co-dominance (सह-प्रभाविता): Both alleles are expressed equally in the heterozygote (e.g., AB blood group).
- Partial dominance (आंशिक प्रभाविता / Incomplete dominance): Heterozygote has an intermediate phenotype (e.g., pink flowers in Mirabilis jalapa).
Correct Answer: Option 2 (Incomplete penetrance).
