Which option identifies the concept demonstrated in the following scenario? Herman bred his black stallion with his white mare in the hopes that the dominant black trait would be reproduced in the offspring. The foal came out gray.

intermediate phenotype
high heritability
genetic mutation
optimal characteristic

intermediate phenotype

Explanation:

This question illustrates INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, which is when two alleles of a gene are neither dominant over another, hence, they produce an intermediate phenotype that is a heterozygous for the gene in question. The intermediate phenotype is a blending of both parental phenotypes.

According to this question, Herman bred his black stallion (BB) with his white mare (WW) to produce foal/offspring that came out gray (BW). This portrays that the gray phenotype is an INTERMEDIATE PHENOTYPE of black and white in a kind of inheritance pattern called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE.

if the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time.
