Dominant Trait- Sam Nelson

Dominant Trait 

-Mask the recessive trait
-Normally written with capital letter
-Can be heterozygous (Bb) or homozygous (BB)


     Dominant alleles show their effect even if the person only has one copy of the allele. For example, the gene for brown eyes is dominant, so you only need one copy of the 'brown eye' gene to have brown eyes which mask other recessive eye colors.

Codominance- "The condition that arises when both alleles in a heterozygous organism are dominant and are fully expressed in the phenotype."

Incomplete Dominance- "The condition that arises when neither allele controlling a characteristic is dominant and the aspect displayed by the organism results from the partial influence of both alleles."

Reflection- While studying genetic dominance was an easy topic to understand.
