A student claims that the inheritance pattern for kernel coating is
incomplete dominance.
Which of the following pieces of evidence best supports the student's cla
(1 point)
O Corn and teosinte share the scientific name Zea mays.
Early farmers produced corn by selectively breeding teosinte.
A single gene with two alleles codes for the presence or absence of kernel coating in
Zea mays.
The cross between domestic corn and teosinte produced offspring with partially formed



Answer :

The best evidence supporting the student's claim of incomplete dominance would be:

"**The cross between domestic corn and teosinte produced offspring with partially formed kernel coating.**"

This evidence suggests that when one parent with a dominant phenotype (kernel coating) is crossed with another parent with a recessive phenotype (no kernel coating), the offspring exhibit an intermediate phenotype (partially formed kernel coating), which is characteristic of incomplete dominance.
