Incomplete dominance

Front

A red flowered plant (RR) is crossed with a white flowered plant (WW). The gene for petal color in these plants expresses incomplete dominance. What percentage of the offspring will have red (RR) flowers?

Back

0%.

Front

Define incomplete dominance.

Back

A genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a new phenotype that is a blend of the two traits.

Front

Define codominance.

Back

A genetic situation in which both alleles in a gene pair are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.

Front

Example of incomplete dominance in plants.

Back

When a red flowered plant is crossed with a white flowered plant, the offspring may have pink flowers.

Example of codominance in animals.

Back

In certain breeds of cattle, a red cow crossed with a white cow can produce offspring with both red and white patches.

What is the phenotype of a heterozygous individual in incomplete dominance?

Back

The phenotype is a blend of the two parental traits.
