Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is the set of characteristic manifested by an organism. An individual has a heterozygous condition if he has 2 different alleles of the same gene An individual has a homozygous condition if...
- 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...
- A Gene Codes For A Single Polypeptide
KEY TERMS:A homomultimer is a protein composed of identical subunits. A heteromultimer is a protein that is composed of nonidentical subunits (coded by different genes). KEY CONCEPTS: The one gene : one enzyme hypothesis summarizes the basis of modern...

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? Above is an example. When you cross pollinate between a red and a white snapdragon plant, the offspring will be pink. This is because the red allele is not completely dominant over the white allele, so because of that the two allele's are combined to make the outcome of a pink flower.
