Genetics Complex Patterns of Inheritance
Incomplete dominance Neither trait is dominant over the other. A third phenotype is observed that is a combination.
codominance Expression of both alleles Phenotypes of both traits are expressed Roan cows from a red parent and a white parent display both red and white appearance This roan horse is heterozygous for coat color. Its fur appears grey because it has a mixture of black and white hairs, not because the individual hair colors are grey.
sex determination Determined by sex chromosomes In humans, the chromosomes XX code for a girl while XY is a boy
Sex-linked inheritance Traits are controlled by genes located on the sex chromosomes White eyes in fruit flies Hemophilia and color blindness in humans
