What is it when the presence of two different alleles results in an intermediate?

When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.


In what alleles can be observed in the phenotype?

you mean phenotype, and its dominant alleles


How does codominance effect phenotype?

both alleles are expressed in the offsping


What Dominant alleles are both fully expressed in a phenotype?

The form of inheritance in which two (different) alleles are both expressed is called codominance. An example of codominance is the orange and black coat of a type of calico cat called a tortoiseshell. Both the orange allele and the black allele for coat color are expressed.


Dominance that occurs whenever the hybrid genotype produces a new intermediate phenotype?

When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.


How is incomplete dominance expressed in phenotype?

In complete dominance, only one allele in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype.


What is an inheritable pattern in which two different alleles contribute to the phenotype in separate and distinguishable ways?

Codominance.


When the heterozygous genotype results in a phenotype where both alleles are fully and separated expressed?

codominance.


What is the interaction of two alleles in which both alleles can be observed in a phenotype?

Incomplete dominance


What is it called when the presence of two different alleles result in an intermediate phenotype?

It is called codominance or incomplete dominance.


What both alleles contribute to the phenotype this a kind of dominance called?

codominance


When the alleles of a gene pair are expressed differently but neither is dominant to the other?

Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed.
