Incomplete Dominance
The offspring will be a mixture of the two parental colors, showing a new phenotype, pink.
Codominance
Codominance
Both spotted and solid offspring are produced, demonstrating that neither trait is dominant over the other.

Study Notes
Incomplete Dominance
- A hybrid offspring displays a third phenotype.
- Neither trait is completely dominant.
- There is a blending of phenotypes.
Codominance
- Both traits are dominant and show up in the phenotype at the same time.
- A heterozygote expresses both phenotypes.
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment
- Two traits are inherited independently of each other as long as their genes are located on non-homologous chromosomes.
- Alleles for different traits segregate independently of each other when gametes are formed.
Multiple Alleles
- Some traits are controlled by more than two different alleles.
- Blood type displays both codominance and complete dominance.
Polygenic Traits
- Require more than one gene to determine a trait.
- Skin tone is determined by 4-6 genes.
Non-Mendelian Genetics
- Incomplete Dominance
- Codominance
- Multiple Alleles
- Polygenic Traits
- Sex-Linked Traits
Genetics Topic: Definitions Overview
- Cell surface carbs (A and B) are codominant, meaning they could both appear on an RBC at the same time.
- A 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio typically indicates a dihybrid cross.
- Polygenic traits show continuous variation because of the influence of multiple genes.
- Traits influenced by multiple genes deviate from Mendelian inheritance.
- Mendelian inheritance is based on predictable patterns of segregation and independent assortment.
