Incomplete dominance and Co-dominance in Genetics

Lets look at Incomplete Dominance first!!! Incomplete dominance is like the genes sharing the dominance. You get a mixing or blending of the dominant trait.

Incomplete dominance Incomplete dominance – when there are two dominant traits that don’t have dominance over each other. This results in a combined phenotype. It’s like a “blending” of the two dominant genes, both traits are expressed. (sharing dominance) + = White Red Pink

Incomplete dominance 3. Examples: Red flower color (R) and White flower color (W) = Pink flowers (RW) b. Red flowers (R) and Blue flower color (B) = Purple flower color (RB) + = + =

c. When you have a purebred red; the genotype is RR d. When you have a purebred white; the genotype is WW e. When you have hybrid flower (RW) the resulting color is PINK!! (both share dominance)

Examples of Incomplete Dominance Skin color Flower color Fur color Short fur or long fur

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE PUNNETT SQUARES PRACTICE PROBLEMS 1. A red flowered is crossed with a white flowered . (R = red, W = white) R R RR Red flower = _____ White flower = ____ WW W R W R W ____ % white ____ % red ____ % pink ____ % heterozygous ____ % homozygous W 100 W R R W 100

2. A blue flowered rose is crossed with a purple flowered rose 2. A blue flowered rose is crossed with a purple flowered rose. (B = blue, R = red) B B BB Blue flower = _____ purple flower = ____ BR B B B B B 50 ____ % blue ____ % red ____ % purple ____ % heterozygous ____ % homozygous B 50 R R R B 50 50

Now lets talk about Co-dominance in Genetics In Co-dominance, you see both dominance traits.

Co-Dominance Co-dominance – when two dominant traits are shown in the offspring. Both traits appear at the same time, but not mixed or blended together. + = White Red Red and white + =

Co - dominance 3. Examples: Example: Red flower color (R) and White flower color (W) = Red and White flowers (RW) b. Example: Yellow flowers (Y) and Blue flower color (B) = Yellow and Blue flower color (YB) + = + =

Exit slip What type of dominance creates in a blending or sharing of the genes? What type of dominance creates an offspring that shows both dominant traits.
