- 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?...
- Allele Vs. Gene
How are alleles and genes different? And how do they correspond with each other? Alleles are pairs of genes and help code for an organism. Genes come from the parent organisms in order to help with the make up of an organism. There are...
- 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...

Dominant vs Recessive: Genetics
This is a picture of my moms eye. She has green eyes which are a recessive trait. Eye color is a linked trait, so she might have gotten eye color and height together on one chromosome as a single gene. This picture relates to genetics because most people pass on the dominant eye color brown, to their offspring but my mother got green. I think she got green from her father, he had hazel eyes. My father has brown eyes and my brother and I got a mixture of these traits. My phenotype resembles the dominant trait: dark brown eyes. My little brothers eye color is light brown due to the green eye color trait.
