genotype, the dominate trait is evident while the recessive gene is masked. This is called complete dominance which makes the offspring a carrier of the recessive gene. However, sometimes there is a p ... which the dominant phenotype is not fully expressed in the heterozygote. This is called incomplete dominance, where the resulting phenotype is an intermediate between the homozygous dominant and homo ...

The gametes from the genotypes are Y, y, R, and r.When several genes control the same trait and codominance is expressed among the alleles, the traits exhibit polygenic inheritance. For example, peo ...
