1
Q

Q
What is codominance?
A
Where 2 different alleles have an equal effect on a phenotype, resulting in a combination of the 2 traits being expressed
Neither allele is recessive or dominant over the other
3
Q
In codominance, how do alleles contribute to the trait?
A
Both alleles contribute equally to the trait
4
Q
What blood type is produced when inheriting A from one parent and B from the other?
A
AB, showing both traits
5
Q
What is incomplete dominance?
A
Neither allele is fully dominant or recessive, resulting in a combination of 2 parental traits
6
Q
Is incomplete dominance heterozygous or homozygous?
A
Both heterozygous but the trait/phenotype is shown in different ways. These are 2 variations of mendel’s laws.
