What is Codominance?

Back

Codominance is a type of inheritance where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. Example: A flower with red and white patches.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Incomplete Dominance?

Back

Incomplete Dominance is a type of inheritance where the phenotype of a heterozygote is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes. Example: A red flower crossed with a white flower produces pink flowers.

What are Multiple Alleles?

Back

Multiple Alleles refer to the presence of more than two alleles for a genetic trait. Example: The ABO blood group system in humans has three alleles: A, B, and O.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Polygenic Inheritance?

Back

Polygenic Inheritance is a type of inheritance where multiple genes influence a single trait, resulting in a continuous range of phenotypes. Example: Human height is influenced by several genes.
