Hair color is typically determined by multiple genes, with variations in hair color being controlled by a combination of dominant and recessive alleles. It is not a clear-cut case of codominance or incomplete dominance, as there are diverse genetic factors involved in determining hair color.
When the dominant allele does not completely mask the effect of the recessive allele in the heterozygote, it is called incomplete dominance. In this case, both alleles contribute to the phenotype, resulting in an intermediate phenotype.
Incomplete Dominance.
It is called incomplete dominance.
No, it is an example of sex-linked recessive inheritance.
IT always varies on the X cromosomes
When genes are neither recessive nor dominant, they are said to exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance. In incomplete dominance, both alleles are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a blending of traits. In co-dominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype, leading to a combination of traits.
True. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote exhibits an intermediate phenotype that is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. This is different from complete dominance, where the dominant allele completely masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygote.
Incomplete dominance is when both the dominant gene and recessive gene are present in an organism's phenotype. For example, since brown eyes are dominant and blue eyes are recessive in humans, a person who has incomplete dominance of eye color would have gray or green eyes; a mixture of both brown and blue. Codominance is when two dominant alleles are present at the same time. These two terms are not the same!
Codominant.
In a dominance-recessive interaction, one allele (dominant) masks the expression of the other allele (recessive) in a heterozygous individual. The dominant allele is expressed phenotypically, while the recessive allele's traits are not visible. This interaction occurs at the level of gene expression and influences the observable traits or phenotype of an organism.
For alleles that exhibit incomplete dominance, a capitalized letter is used to represent the dominant allele, and a lowercase letter of the same symbol represents the recessive allele. When writing these alleles, you can denote the incomplete dominance by writing superscripts (e.g., A^1, A^2).
