Understanding the Three Types of Dominant: Complete, Incomplete, and Codominance

Explore the three types of dominant inheritance: Complete, Incomplete, and Codominance in genetics.

19 views

The three types of dominant are: Complete Dominance, where one allele completely masks the effect of another; Incomplete Dominance, where the resulting phenotype is a blend of the two alleles; and Codominance, where both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype. These genetic concepts illustrate how inheritable traits can be passed and manifested in offspring.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is Complete Dominance? Complete Dominance occurs when one allele completely masks the effect of another allele in a gene pair.
  2. How does Incomplete Dominance differ from Complete Dominance? In Incomplete Dominance, the phenotype is a blend of two alleles rather than one completely masking the other.
  3. What is an example of Codominance? An example of Codominance is AB blood type, where both A and B alleles are expressed equally.
  4. Why is understanding these dominance types important? Understanding these dominance types helps in predicting genetic traits and understanding inherited conditions.
