Typical
” being homozygous dominant
Atypical
being homozygous recessive
Complete dominance
when one allele is expressed in the phenotype, even if there is another allele present
ex of Variation in Inheritance
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Neither mask the other, but instead result in a blended phenotype
Incomplete dominance
-the 2 alleles interact with one another
ex: Snapdragons
Both mask the other, so both show up in a mixed phenotype
Codominance
-another example of what can happen when the two alleles interact with one another
Human blood type is inherited through both a completely…
dominant and codominant pattern
blood types are inherited through 3 possible alleles:
IA, IB and i
-Each of these allele codes for a different enzyme that places different types of sugars on the surface of red blood cells
type A
IA IA OR IA i
Type B
IB IB or IB i
Type AB
IA IB
Type o
ii
