it is incomplete dominance because it runs in the genes
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.
Since grey is an intermediate color created from the parental colors black and white, this is an example of incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, the offspring receives an allele for color from each parent in wiich there is no complete dominance (no letter oding (allele) in itsel is not domiant or more powerful than the other), therefore the alleles are equally powerful and the colors blend to form an intermediate. fAnother example of incomplete dominance would be pink flowers resulting from parents colored red and white
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
C. A white cat and a black cat having gray kittens is an example of incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the offspring is a blend of the parents' traits, rather than one trait being completely dominant over the other. In this case, the gray kittens represent a mix of the white and black parental traits.
It's called incomplete dominance or Co-dominance. The alleles for white and red cannot overpower one another (in other words, the red gene is never dominant over the white gene but both can occur at the same time) to make the calf either white or red, so instead the coat coloration of the calf has red and white hairs that are intermingled with each other.
Incomplete Dominance
When each allele has its own degree of influence it is known as incomplete dominance.
complete dominance incomplete dominance co-dominance multiple alleles polygenic inheritance
This is called co-dominance. Both alleles are expressed. For example, if white and red in a flower are co-dominant, the offspring will have both red and white petals in a flower. See link below:
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.
Both co-dominance and incomplete dominance involve a situation where alleles do not follow the traditional dominant-recessive pattern of inheritance. In both cases, heterozygous individuals show a phenotype that is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. The main difference is that in co-dominance, both alleles are fully expressed, while in incomplete dominance, the phenotype is a mix of the two alleles.
Both alleles are expressed in offspring when neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in co-dominance. This means that both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the offspring's phenotype.
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.
Incomplete Dominance
Incomplete dominance or co-dominant
The parent had a recessive gene or a gene with incomplete dominance. The rare case of albinism may also be the cause.
