Incomplete dominance involves the combination of two dominant genes present in the phenotype of one organism. In coloured flowers, this may result in spotting or partial colour (ie; red and white spots).

Co-dominance is also the combination of two dominant genes in the phenotype of one organism. In coloured flowers, this is shown as a middle shade (ie; white + red = pink).

How are codominant alleles and incompletely dominant similar?

Codominance and incomplete dominance can only exist if the genotype has heterozygous alleles.


When phenotype of both homozygous are produced in the heterozygote they are called?

Codominance is what it is called. That is when neither allele is completely dominant over the other.


Traits produced by two or more genes are codominant?

yes but the mans genes are shown more in the child is that your question cause i might be totaly wrong. ---- Genes from each parent show equally and codominant alleles produces a interleaved pattern rather than a blended pattern like incomplete dominance genes.

Do codominant alleles assort independently?

Yes, codominant alleles assort independently during Mendelian inheritance. This means that the inheritance of one pair of alleles does not influence the inheritance of another pair of alleles on different chromosomes. Each allele segregates independently into gametes during meiosis.


How are codominance alleles and incomplete dominant alleles different?

Codominant alleles will both be expressed in the phenotype. So for example in the human ABO blood type, A and B are codominant. This means that a person with the alleles AB will have the characteristics of both A and B (they will have both A and B antigens on their blood cells). Another example of codominance - if B codes for black fur and b codes for white fur, an individual with Bb would have black and white spots/splotches/etc. Incomplete dominance is different in that the phenotype is a mix of the two. So for example, if B codes for black fur and b codes for white fur an individual with Bb would have grey fur (a mix of black and white).

Is hair color codominant or incomplete dominance?

Hair color is typically determined by multiple genes, with variations in hair color being controlled by a combination of dominant and recessive alleles. It is not a clear-cut case of codominance or incomplete dominance, as there are diverse genetic factors involved in determining hair color.


What codominance is and give an example of codominant alleles explainiing why they are codominant.?

Codominance is a genetic phenomenon where two different alleles for a trait are expressed equally in the phenotype of an organism. An example of codominant alleles is the ABO blood group system, specifically the A and B alleles. When an individual inherits both the A and B alleles, their blood type is AB, displaying characteristics of both types without blending, which illustrates that neither allele is dominant or recessive. This results in both A and B antigens being present on the surface of red blood cells.
