Introduction to Genetics Codominance and Incomplete Dominance

This is an example of ___________?

• Incomplete dominance
• Co-Dominance

What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together? 

• Incomplete Dominance
• Co-Dominance

When one allele is not dominant over the other, resulting in both traits expressed in a heterozygous individual.....

• Incomplete Dominance

• Codominance

Some flowers are controlled by codominance. Red flowers (RR), blue flowers (BB) and Speckled flowers (RB).

Cross a red flower with a speckled flower. What is the phenotypic ratio?

• 2 red, 2 speckled

• 2 red, 2 blue

• 2 blue, 2 speckled
