Front

In genetics, what does codominance mean?

Back

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

Front

What is the phenotype?

Back

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

Front

What is a homozygous dominant genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of two dominant alleles (e.g., AA).

What is a homozygous recessive genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of two recessive alleles (e.g., aa).

Front

What is a heterozygous genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of one dominant and one recessive allele (e.g., Aa).
