Which occurrence is when an individual inherits a dominant gene but does not fully express the dominant phenotype?

Incomplete penetrance


If two different alleles for a trait are present and one allele doesn't entirely block the expression of the other What is the genetic situation called?

Then they are codominent and a little bit of each will show up in the organism's phenotype.


When an organism has two recessive coloring genes which color does it exhibit?

Well, if you're talking about mendelian inheritance, one will always be recessive to the other. But in real life, there are a lot of other factors like x-inactivation and incomplete penetrance, codominance, icomplete dominance, etc to think about. So if it's a gene where codominance or incomplete dominance is possible, then you may see the appearance of BOTH traits (codominance) or a BLENDING of the traits (incomplete dominance). X-Inactivation and incomplete penetrance are more difficult to predict because you really just have to see the offspring to see what happened. Sorry if that was confusing, hope that helps!
