NGSS.HS-LS3-1

a trait where the dominant allele does NOT completely express itself. It shows a BLEND

• Sex Linked

• Codominance

• Incomplete Dominance

A trait where the heterozygous genotype produces characteristics of both alleles----a sharing of dominance between two alleles.

• codominance

• incomplete dominance

• sex linked

What process does this figure show?
