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.
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Codominace
When an allele is neither dominant nor recessive, it means that both alleles equally influence the trait. This is known as codominance, where both alleles are expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
If neither are Dominant Or Recessive then its called co dominance or spuedo - dominance
codominance
Actually a chromosome consists of many genes/alleles and is neither recessive or dominant in and of itself.
the scientific terms used to describe when neither alleles are dominant nor recessive is codominance
Incomplete dominant alleles.
Incomplete Dominance.
the scientific terms used to describe when neither alleles are dominant nor recessive is codominance
this is called codominance
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
