The amount of enzyme activity in a cell that is homozygous for a mutant allele is 400 units. The amount of enzyme activity in a cell homozygous for the WT allele is 200 units. The amount of enzyme activity in a heterozygote is 300 units. What is the dominance relationship between the WT and mutant allele for the phenotype of amount of enzyme per cell?

    WT and mutant allele show that incomplete dominance

    Explanation:

    given data

    homozygous for a mutant allele = 400 units

    WT allele = 200 units

    heterozygote = 300

    to find out

    dominance relationship between the WT and mutant allele

    solution

    we know that Enzyme activity homozygous mutant = 400 unit and

    WT = 200 unit

    so each WT allele contributes 100 units

    and Heterozygous = 300 units

    that is intermediate between Homozygous WT and homozygous Recessive

    and WT and mutant alleles are incompletely dominant

    and phenotype of heterozygote is the intermediate of both homozygous WT and the homozygous mutant

    so WT and mutant allele show that incomplete dominance
