Incomplete Dominance




  • Incomplete Dominance is a form of dominance where the dominant allele is partially expressed. 
  • In the picture you see a brown horse mix with a white horse. Their offspring is a lighter brown because the 2 dominant alleles mixed.  
  • I learned that incomplete dominance and codominance are very close but they have some major differences.

    1. Incomplete dominance is when 2 organisms will mate and their offspring will have a mix of their colors. e.x. A red flower and a white flower have been mixed and their offspring is pink.

      In codominance the 2 parent traits will both show. e.x. if a white horse and a black horse mate the offspring will either be white with black spots or black with white spots therefore creating the zebra.
