When a gene is neither dominant nor recessive it is a condition called co-dominance. Or pseudo dominance. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent.

When neither allele is dominant what are they expressed as?

Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.


These alleles show their effect on the phenotype whenever they are present in the genotype?

Dominant alleles carry traits or characteristics that will show no matter what. Recessive alleles carry traits where you must be homozygous for the recessive trait in order for it to show. Dominant alleles are represented by capital letters (EX: R or M) Recessive alleles are represented by lower case letters (EX: r or m) In order for a dominant allele to show, you can have either RR or Rr, since it is dominant. However, in order for a recessive allele to show, you MUST have rr. Hope this helps!


What Happens when genes are neither recessive nor dominant?

When genes are neither recessive nor dominant, they are said to exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance. In incomplete dominance, both alleles are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a blending of traits. In co-dominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype, leading to a combination of traits.


How is it possible to have neither allele dominant?

In cases where neither allele is dominant, both alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype. This is known as codominance, where both alleles contribute to the phenotype without one overpowering the other. An example of this is in blood type inheritance, where the AB blood type is the result of codominance between the A and B alleles.


When neither of the genes are dominant or recessive the genes are said to be?

genes can be codominant for example in blood groups a person can be A,B,AB or O. neither A nor B is more or less dominant than each other but they are dominant over O. there are many other types of dominance/recessive relationships in genes. you could look up epistasis on wikipedia to get a better idea of the bigger picture.
