When 2 alleles in a gene pair are different

• Heterozygous
• Homozygous
• Mitosis
• Co Dominance

Two identical alleles for a trait

• Heterozygous
• Homozygous
• Complete Dominance
• Co Dominance

Two or more dominant traits present. One is not dominant over another. When expressed together, there is a blend of characteristics. (3rd phenotype)

• Heterozygous
• Homozygous

• Co Dominance

The Two dominant traits present. One is not dominant over another. When paired together, both are expressed

• Heterozygous
• Homozygous
• Incomplete Dominance
