- Incomplete Dominance
What Is Incomplete Dominance? This is a form of inheritance in a cell where one allele (form of gene) for a specific trait is not dominant over the other allele, which in conclusion makes a combined phenotype (physical trait). Confused?...
- A Locus May Have Many Different Mutant Alleles
KEY TERMS:A locus is said to have multiple alleles when more than two allelic forms have been found. Each allele may cause a different phenotype. KEY CONCEPTS: The existence of multiple alleles allows heterozygotes to occur representing any pairwise...
