QUESTION
What happened to the traits that passed on

What do you think is the difference of


codominance to the traits shown by
emma?
◦ Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele or sort
of a gene, doesn't completely mask the consequences of a
recessive allele and therefore, the organism’s resulting
physical appearance shows a blending of both alleles. It is
also called semi-dominance or partial dominance. One
example is shown in roses. The allele for red color is
dominant over the allele for white color, but heterozygous
roses, which have both alleles, are pink. Note that this is
different from codominance, which is when both alleles
are expressed at the same time.
EXAMPLES OF
INCOMPLETE
DOMINANCE
◦ When one
parent with
straight hair
and one
with curly
hair have a
toddler with
wavy hair,
that's an
example of
incomplete
dominance.
◦ Eye color is an
example of
incomplete
dominance. In
fact, it's a little
more complicated
than that, but hazel
eyes are partially
caused by
incomplete
dominance of
multiple genes
associated with
green and brown
eye color.
◦ Chickens with
blue feathers
are an example
of incomplete
dominance.
When a black
and a white
chicken
reproduce and
neither allele is
totally
dominant. The
result is a blue-
feathered bird.
◦When a long-furred Angora and a short-furred
Rex rabbit reproduce, the result are often a
rabbit with fur longer than a Rex, but shorter
than an Angora. That's a classic example of
incomplete dominance producing a trait
different from either of the parents.
◦Tail length in dogs is usually
determined by incomplete
dominance. Pups of long-tailed
and short-tailed parents often split
the difference and have medium-
length tails.
◦The cream gene in horses may be a classic
incomplete dominance. When paired with a
red allele, the cream allele produces horses
with golden coats such as palominos and
buckskins
◦ Four-o-clocks are flowering
plants that get their funny name
from their inclination to bloom
within the late afternoon. Wild
four-o-clocks tend to have red
flowers while "pure" four-o-
clocks with no coloration genes
are white. Mixing the two results
in pink flowers just like Dr.
Kolreuter's carnations. Those
pink flowers are results of
◦Pink snapdragons are results
of incomplete dominance.
Cross-pollination between red
snapdragons and white
snapdragons end in pink
when neither the white or the
red alleles are dominant.
◦Incomplete dominance may be
a key element of improving
crops like corn. Corn with
multiple incompletely
dominant traits is usually
healthier and provides greater
yields than "purer" strains with
fewer traits.
◦The fruit color of
eggplants is another
example of incomplete
dominance. Combining
deep purple eggplants
with white eggplants
results in eggplants of a
light violet color.
