Two brothers have thick hair that grows over their faces and most of their bodies.
This human disorder, called Ambra's Syndrome, shows X-linked dominant inheritance. The
mother of the boys is also affected by Ambra's Syndrome, although her excessive hair growth
occurs in various, scattered patches on her skin rather than a continuous coverage like her sons.
What is the most likely explanation for the patchy expression of hairlessness on the mother's
skin?

The most likely explanation for the irregular expression of hairlessness on the mother's skin is codominance

Codominance is a biological term to refer to the hereditary pattern that is characterized by:

  • In the heterozygous state, there is no recessive allele, but both behave as dominant. Codominance is characterized by the manifestation of both characteristics as dominant, without mixing.

According to the above, the irregular expression of the lack of hair in the mother is a manifestation of the codominance of the hair gene and the hairless gene that do not mix but are seen independently.
