What type of allele dominance occurs when both the alleles are active and expressed?
When both the alleles are expressed, it is called co-dominance or mixed dominance.
What is expressed when neither copy of alleles completely masks expressions of the other but instead a blending of alleles seen?
When neither copy of an allele is completely expressed or completely masked, it is called Incomplete Dominance. When incomplete dominance is present, then the offspring will have a blend of both parental phenotypes but will always be a slight bit slower to one parent than the other.
When neither allele is dominant (they are both expressed)?
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
How does codominance effect phenotype?
both alleles are expressed in the offsping
What is it called when both alleles are expressed in an offspring?
This is called Codominance because both genes are expressed in an offspring.
When the alleles of a gene pair are expressed differently but neither is dominant to the other?
Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed.
What Dominant alleles are both fully expressed in a phenotype?
The form of inheritance in which two (different) alleles are both expressed is called codominance. An example of codominance is the orange and black coat of a type of calico cat called a tortoiseshell. Both the orange allele and the black allele for coat color are expressed.
Why you called co-dominance when a person possess two different alleles at the same locus and both alleles are expressed in the phenotype?
Both of the parent's alleles are either dominant or recessive.
When both alleles are expressed in offspring is what?
Co-dominance.
What is shared dominance?
Shared dominance, or co-dominance is when a single gene has more than one dominant allele. In shared dominance both alleles are expressed completely.
When neither allele is dominant what are they expressed as?
Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
What is it when the presence of two different alleles results in an intermediate?
When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.
