Incomplete Dominance
incomplete dominance
The type of inheritance that involves one dominant allele and one recessive allele is called simple Mendelian inheritance or complete dominance. In this pattern, the phenotype of the organism will display the trait associated with the dominant allele, while the recessive allele's effects are masked when both alleles are present. An example of this is the inheritance of flower color in pea plants, where purple (dominant) flowers mask the expression of white (recessive) flowers.

Incomplete dominance is not a mutation; it is a type of genetic inheritance pattern where neither allele is completely dominant over the other. Mutations, on the other hand, are changes in the DNA sequence that can result in altered traits or functions.
A dominant pedigree refers to a pattern of inheritance in which a dominant allele on a gene is expressed in the phenotype of an individual, masking the effects of a recessive allele. This results in the dominant trait being exhibited in individuals who inherit at least one copy of the dominant allele.

Codominance
Pleiotropy is the term used to describe an inheritance pattern where a single allele affects multiple phenotypic traits. In this pattern, one gene is responsible for controlling or influencing multiple aspects of an organism's phenotype.
The type of inheritance that involves one dominant allele and one recessive allele is called simple Mendelian inheritance or complete dominance. In this pattern, the phenotype of the organism will display the trait associated with the dominant allele, while the recessive allele's effects are masked when both alleles are present. An example of this is the inheritance of flower color in pea plants, where purple (dominant) flowers mask the expression of white (recessive) flowers.
Codominance is a genetic inheritance pattern where both alleles for a trait are fully expressed in the phenotype of an individual. This means that neither allele is dominant or recessive, and they both contribute to the observable trait. In contrast, in other forms of genetic inheritance, such as complete dominance or incomplete dominance, one allele may be dominant over the other, leading to a different expression of the trait.
