When a red shorthorn cow is crossed with a white bull, the offspring carry a mixture of red and white hairs called roan. This illustrates

  • A. complete dominance
  • B. linkage
  • C. crossing over
  • D. codominance

Explanation

Both alleles express themselves side by side in the heterozygote, producing distinct red and white hairs rather than a blended colour. In incomplete dominance, by contrast, the phenotype is an intermediate such as pink.
