Question

a trait is considered: discrete when:
1-The traits are intermediate between the recessive and dominant cases
2- the traits are obviously either there or not there [what I guess the answer is]
3- the traits are variable in the population
4- the traits are a result of multiple genes.

when the allele of a trait is incompletely dominant:
1- the dominant trait masks the recessive trait
2- the recessive trait masks the dominant trait
3- the heterozygous individial is the same as the dominant.
4- the heterozygous individual is intermediate between the recessive and the dominant
5- the heterozygous individual expresses both traits.

Explanation / Answer

A trait is considered discrete when the traits are either there or not there, eg Albinism, cystic fibrosis, Huntingtons disease, -option 2.

Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance where one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both the alleles. Option 4-the heterozygous individual is intermediate between the recessive and the dominant
