• Recessive

• Codominant

• Incomplete Dominant

Dark hair is a dominant trait. If you are heterozygous for the trait, it means...

• You have 2 dominant genes for dark hair and therefore you have dark hair

• You have only recessive genes and have light hair

• You have 2 dominant genes for dark hair but do not have dark hair

• You have dark hair but also carry the recessive gene for light hair
