Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype.

Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.

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


What alleles will be expressed in your phenotype?

The alleles that will be expressed in your phenotype are the ones that are dominant and determine your physical traits. These dominant alleles will be visible in your appearance, while recessive alleles may be present in your genetic makeup but not visibly 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 many alleles are there in codominance?

In codominance, there are at least two alleles contributing to the phenotype of an individual, each allele independently expressed. This means that both alleles are fully expressed in the heterozygous genotype, resulting in a distinct phenotype.


What is the key recognition of codominance?

The heterozygote expresses the phenotype of both homozygotes.


Do alleles control phenotype?

Yes, alleles are variations of a gene that can affect the phenotype of an organism. The combination of alleles an individual carries determines specific traits or characteristics that are expressed.


What are alleles for a particular trait that are always expressed are said to be?

Dominant alleles. Dominant alleles will always be expressed in the phenotype, even if only one copy is present in the genotype.


If two dominant alleles are expressed at the same time this is a case of what?

This is called codominance. In codominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype of the individual.


How does codominance effect phenotype?

Codominance occurs when both alleles contribute to the phenotype of a heterozygous individual. This results in a phenotype that displays characteristics of both alleles simultaneously, rather than blending them. This can lead to unique patterns or color combinations in the phenotype.


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

Codominance is the interaction of two alleles where both alleles are equally expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a mixed or blended phenotype. This means that the traits controlled by each allele are both visible in the individual.


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.
