Shared dominance, or co-dominance is when a single gene has more than one dominant allele. In shared dominance both alleles are expressed completely.

What is it called when each allele has its own degree of influence?

Incomplete Dominance


If an offspring shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes of the parents what is this type of inheritance?

Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.


How does incomplete dominance and co-dominance differ from a typical Mendelian cross in terms of genetic inheritance patterns?

Incomplete dominance and co-dominance differ from typical Mendelian crosses in that they involve more complex inheritance patterns. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes, while in co-dominance, both alleles are expressed fully in the heterozygous individual. This contrasts with typical Mendelian crosses where one allele is dominant and masks the expression of the other recessive allele.


True or false the phenotype of the herozygote is intermediate of for incomplete dominance?

True. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote exhibits an intermediate phenotype that is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. This is different from complete dominance, where the dominant allele completely masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygote.


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.

Do people use selective breeding or shared dominance to develop different dog breeds?

Using selective breeding is exactly how people produced the different dog breeds. They discovered dogs that had the characteristics or skills they wanted and bred them.


Does the cerebral dominance designate the hemisphere that is dominant for language?

Yes, cerebral dominance typically designates the hemisphere that is dominant for language. In most right-handed individuals, language dominance is in the left hemisphere, while in some left-handed individuals, it can be in either hemisphere or shared between them.
