    Incomplete and Co-Dominance

    Uploaded by

    Renzo Formanes
    This document discusses incomplete and co-dominance in genetics. For incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. This is exemplified by a cross between a red and white flower producing a pink flower. For co-dominance, both alleles contribute to the phenotype. A example given is black and white chickens, where the heterozygote expresses both black and white feathers.

    Incomplete and

    Co-Dominance
    Incomplete Dominance
    • One allele is not
    completely
    dominant over the
    other.

    • The heterozygous
    phenotype is in-
    between the
    homozygous
    phenotypes.
    Incomplete Dominance
    If you cross a
    RED flower with
    a WHITE flower,
    you will get a
    PINK flower.

    NOTICE:
    the RED genotype is RR
    the WHITE genotype is WW
    the PINK genotype is RW
    Let’s Practice!
    Cross a BLACK chicken (BB) with a WHITE chicken
    (WW). These alleles show INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE.

    INcomplete is
    INbetween
    Co-Dominance
    • Both alleles contribute to the phenotype.

    • For Example: In chickens, the allele for black


    feathers is co-dominant with the allele for
    white feathers. These chickens will have BOTH
    black and white feathers.

    Cross a Black chicken (BB) with a White chicken
    (WW). These alleles show CO-DOMINANCE.
