What is Incomplete Dominance?

Back

A genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a blended phenotype.

What phenotype does Tt produce if 'T' is tall and 't' is short?

Back

Tall.

Front

What is a phenotype?

Back

The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic makeup and environmental influences.

Front

What is CoDominance?

Back

A genetic scenario where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.

Front

Give an example of CoDominance.

Back

Cats with white fur and orange stripes show CoDominance.

Front

What is a genotype?

Back

The genetic constitution of an individual, represented by the alleles inherited from the parents.

Front

What does the term 'allele' mean?

Back

An allele is a variant form of a gene that can produce different traits.

Front

What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles?

Back

Dominant alleles express their traits even when only one copy is present, while recessive alleles require two copies to express their traits.

Front

What is a homozygous genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of two identical alleles for a particular gene.

Front

What is a heterozygous genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of two different alleles for a particular gene.
