G7-Variation in Heredity Flashcards
Typical
” being homozygous dominant
Atypical
being homozygous recessive
Complete dominance
when one allele is expressed in the phenotype, even if there is another allele present
- the dominant allele’s phenotype is expressed even if the genotype is heterozygous
ex of Variation in Inheritance
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Neither mask the other, but instead result in a blended phenotype
Incomplete dominance
-the 2 alleles interact with one another
ex: Snapdragons
Both mask the other, so both show up in a mixed phenotype
Codominance
-another example of what can happen when the two alleles interact with one another
Human blood type is inherited through both a completely…
dominant and codominant pattern
blood types are inherited through 3 possible alleles:
IA, IB and i
-Each of these allele codes for a different enzyme that places different types of sugars on the surface of red blood cells
type A
IA IA OR IA i
Type B
IB IB or IB i
Type AB
IA IB
Type o
ii
