Yes. Heterozygous dominance offers a way to preserve the mutated allele.

Is it easier to analyze genotype by observing phenotype in organisms with complete dominance or in organisms with incomplete dominance?

It is easier to analyze genotype by observing phenotype in organisms with incomplete dominance (also known as codominance), because in incomplete dominance the individual will show a specific phenotype for each situation, whether it is homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive. For example, in flowers, such as the ones that Mendel studied, a homozygous dominant flower will be red, a homozygous recessive flower will be white, and a heterozygous flower will be pink. In complete dominance, a heterozygous will only express the dominant phenotype, as opposed to incomplete dominance, in which a heterozygous individual will express a phenotype that is representative of both of the dominant and recessive traits. Because heterozygous individuals in complete dominance express the dominant phenotype, it is hard to determine whether the genotype is homozygous dominant or heterozygous for the trait. Hope this helps!


Which is an example of imcomplete dominance?

An example of incomplete dominance is when crossing a red flower with a white flower produces pink flowers in the offspring, rather than a blend of the two parent colors. This occurs when the heterozygous genotype results in an intermediate phenotype that is different from either homozygous genotype.


If two alleles have incomplete dominance what will the resulting phenotype be for an individual who carries one copy of each allele?

In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of the heterozygous individual will be intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. For example, if one allele leads to red flowers and another allele leads to white flowers, a heterozygous individual will have pink flowers.


A heterozygous organism is what?

A heterozygous organism has two different alleles for a specific gene, one inherited from each parent. This genetic variation can influence traits and is important for the diversity and adaptability of populations. For example, in a gene with alleles A and a, an individual with genotype Aa is considered heterozygous. Heterozygosity can also affect an organism's phenotype, depending on the dominance relationships between the alleles.

One allele is not completely dominant over another The heterozygous phenotype is somewhere in between the two homozygous phenotypes?

You get aspects of each trait displayed. Like, if one cat had a solid colored orange fur, and it's mate was brown, you could get a mottled cat. Or if one parent has brown eyes, and the other green, hazel eyes could occur.


A example of a homosygous genetic disorder?

Cystic Fibrosis is a recessive homozygous genetic disease


Describe the difference between complete dominance and incomplete dominance to include potential outcomes shown in a Punnett Square.?

 Incomplete dominance is when neither allele is dominant so the heterozygous phenotype ends up becoming a blend of the two. There can be three different phenotypes; a classic example is the flower color in snapdragons. Examples in humans- hair textureCurly= C1C1Straight= C1C2Wave= C1C2Complete dominance is when one allele completely masks the expression of another allele in a heterozygous individual, one allele is dominant over the other and is able to determine the phenotype.

What is hepatitus?

Hepatopathy is a disease or disorder of the liver. It is a very general term used when there is some sort of problem with the liver. The suffix 'pathy' can be added to many organs to describe a disease or disorder. For example gastropathy is a disease or disorder of the stomach.


What is a non example of heterozygous?

Heterozygous


What is an example of a genetic disorder resulting from a mutuation?

-Cystic Fibrosis -Hemophilia -Tay-Sachs disease


Is incomplete dominance a characteristic of cystic fibrosis?

I was just wondering this myself. My little brother recently had an anal prolapse, the trait runs on one side but he's been tested. I'm not sure if he needs more testing or if we need to look for another cause. Incomplete dominance is such a fuzzy place in genetics I have a feeling that if it's not diagnosable, he's suffering from some sort of negative genetic influence. Sorry I couldn't help but this is such an unknown place in any of the fields that deal with genetic disease.


How many alleles influence a phenotype in incomplete dominance?

A trait that exhibits incomplete dominance, is one in which the heterozygous offspring will have a phenotype that is a blend between the two parent organisms. An example of this is when a homozygous red sweet pea flower crossed with a homozygous white sweet pea flower, their offspring will be heterozygous and have the pink phenotype, rather than either red or white. So, the homozygous red flower will be red, the homozygous white flower will be white, and the heterozygous flower will be pink. So there are three possible phenotypes in incomplete dominance. There are also no dominant or recessives genotypes.


What is opathy?

relating to medical terms.... "-pathy" is a word suffix that denotes a disease or disorder. Example: Neuropathy is a nervous system disease.
