How is inheritance different from dominant recessive inheritance?

Answer 1

Dominance is when one gene completely takes over the phenotype, and codominance is when two genes are equally expressed.

For example:

Dominance: Red flower x yellow flower = red flower (red gene is expressed, but yellow gene isn't)

Codominance: Red flower x white flower = flower with red petals and white petals (both the red gene and the white gene are expressed)

Answer 2

Dominant inheritance is dominant and determines the trait, while Recessive inheritance is hidden by the dominant trait. A recessive trait is exhibited only if both recessive genes are present. Organisms that carry recessive genes but do not exhibit theme are called carriers. If an organism is heterozygous for a dominant trait, each of its offspring has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the trait.

Answer 3

Please excuse me if I'm misunderstanding the question. However, there is typically a dominant and a recessive allele for traits. The result is divided into two categories: the phenotype and the genotype. The phenotype is the visible trait, the dominant if there's one present, and the recessive is the underlying trait that is only visible when there is no dominant trait present. There are some exceptions to this: polygenic traits, incomplete dominance, co-dominance---which could be determined to be the difference between inheritance, or perhaps the difference you're referring to is the difference between phenotype and genotype.

Answer 4

Codominance is when 2 dominate genes appear in the phenotype of an organism.
