Back

Incomplete dominance

Front

Define incomplete dominance.

Back

A genetic situation where one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a new phenotype that is a blend of the two traits.

Front

Define codominance.

Back

A genetic situation where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that shows both traits.

Front

Example of codominance in animals.

Back

In certain breeds of cattle, a red cow and a white bull can produce offspring with both red and white patches.

Front

Example of incomplete dominance in plants.

Back

In snapdragon flowers, crossing red and white flowers can produce pink flowers.

Front

What is the phenotype of a heterozygous individual in incomplete dominance?

Back

A phenotype that is a blend of the two parental traits.
