      • Dominance affects the phenotype derived from an organism 's genes, but it does not affect the way these genes are inherited. Complete dominance occurs when the heterozygote phenotype is indistinguishable from that of the homozygous parent.

    An example of a simple phenotype, is flower color in Mendel’s peas. We have already said that one allele as a homozygote produces purple flowers, while the other allele as a homozygote produces white flowers. But what about a heterozygous individual that has one purple allele and one white allele? What is the phenotype of a heterozygote? This can o...

    Other than the complete dominant and recessive relationship, other relationships can exist between alleles. In incomplete dominance (also called semi-dominance), both alleles affect the trait additively, and the phenotype of the heterozygote shows a typically intermediate between the homozygotes, which is often referred to as blended phenotype. For...

    Co-dominance is another type of allelic relationship in which a heterozygous individual expresses the phenotype of both alleles simultaneously. An example of co-dominance is found within the ABO blood group of humans. The ABO gene has three common alleles that were named (for historical reasons) IA, IB, and i. People homozygous for IA or IB display...

  2. This shows that inferring dominance mechanisms from genetic variation alone is not straightforward, even in genes for which genetic pathways towards the phenotype have been well studied, and requires specific functional studies.

  3. Sep 22, 2024 · In incomplete dominance (also called semi-dominance), both alleles affect the trait additively, and the phenotype of the heterozygote shows a typically intermediate between the homozygotes, which is often referred to as blended phenotype. For example, alleles for colour in carnation flowers (and many other species) exhibit incomplete dominance.

  4. Dominance relationships between alleles for a given trait can impact phenotypic ratios, but interactions between different genes can also impact phenotype.

  5. Dec 14, 2021 · There are often many different alleles of a gene in a population. In these cases, an organism's genotype, or set of alleles, still determines its phenotype, or observable features. However, a variety of alleles may interact with one another in different ways to specify phenotype.

  7. Jun 9, 2019 · The dominant allele for a trait completely masks the recessive allele for that trait. The phenotype is determined by the dominant allele. For example, the genes for seed shape in pea plants exists in two forms, one form or allele for round seed shape (R) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (r).
