C. Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles 1. Incomplete Dominance a. One allele is not completely dominant over another b. The heterozygous phenotype is somewhere between the two homozygous phenotypes. c. Example: snapdragons
2. Codominance a. Both alleles contribute to the phenotype b. Example: human bloodtype
3. Multiple Alleles a. Many genes have more than two alleles b. Example: Rabbit coat color (4 alleles)
4. Polygenic traits a. Traits that are controlled by two or more genes b. Example: Human skin color is probably controlled by more than 4 different genes
