Simple dominance is a concept in genetics where one allele (gene variant) masks the expression of another allele at the same locus. This results in the dominant allele being expressed phenotypically, while the recessive allele is not expressed. This type of inheritance pattern is common in traits like eye color or hair texture.

What are two inheritance patterns besides simple dominance?

Simple dominance, known as "complete dominance" is when one allele is expressed over another (the recessive gene is not expressed at all). Two other patterns are incomplete dominance and codominance. Incomplete dominance is when a trait is expressed that is somewhere inbetween the two alleles. For example, if BB is black fur and bb is white fur, Bb would be grey fur. Codominance is when both traits are expressed. For example, if RR is red and rr is white, Rr would be white with red spots (or red with white spots).


What is it called when each allele has its own degree of influence?

Incomplete Dominance


The difference between simple dominance recessive traits and incomplete dominance?

In simple dominance, one allele completely masks the effect of another allele in a heterozygous individual, while recessive traits are only expressed in the absence of a dominant allele. In incomplete dominance, both alleles are partially expressed in a heterozygous individual, resulting in an intermediate phenotype that is a blend of the two alleles.


What is shared dominance?

Shared dominance occurs when two or more individuals have similar levels of authority or power within a group or relationship. This can lead to a more collaborative and equal distribution of control compared to a more hierarchical dominance structure.


If an offspring shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes of the parents what is this type of inheritance?

Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.

What dominance is a sweet pea tendrils?

When sweet pea plants with tendrils are crossed with those without tendrils, all the offspring have tendrils. This is simple dominance with tendrils dominant and no tendrils recessive.
