Complete dominance is when the F1 offspring look like one of the two parents. Incomplete dominance is when neither allele for a gene is completely dominant over the other which leads to a phenotype (physical look or characteristic) somewhere between the two parents. An example of complete dominance would be in Mendel's classic pea cross experiment, with yellow peas being dominant to green peas. More peas would be yellow than green. An example of incomplete dominance would be with snapdragons. If a red true breeding snapdragon were crossed with a white true breeding snapdragon, the F1 generation offspring would all be pink, because neither the 'red' allele nor the 'white' allele was completely dominant over the other leading to a hybridization in color somewhere between the two parents.

What is the results when two different alleles both appear in the phenotype?

When one allele for a particular trait masks or overrides another allele for a trait, it is called dominance. The allele that is masked is called the recessive allele. The allele that is dominant will determine the phenotype.

What are the three types of dominance?

The three types of dominance are complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance. In complete dominance, one allele is fully expressed over another. In incomplete dominance, neither allele is completely dominant, resulting in a blending of traits. In codominance, both alleles are expressed equally, leading to a distinct phenotype that shows features of both alleles.


What does total dominance of one allele mean?

Total dominance of one allele means that the phenotype associated with that allele is expressed in the heterozygous condition, masking the phenotype of the other allele. This is also known as complete dominance.

What is the difference between incomplete dominance and complete dominance?

Complete Dominance: Where in the dominant gene completely masks the effect of the resesive gen in heterozygous conditions. Ex. Tt or Rr. Incomplete Dominance: When 2 or more alleles influence a phenotype. Ex. Flowers. Codominance: When both alleles for a gene are expressed in heterozygous offspring. Ex. Bloodtype.
