Incomplete Dominance (1 Viewer)

[ScottyG]

This just popped up in a James Ruse trial paper, and for the life of me I can't remember what it is. I'm sure I've known at some point though :S

I assume incomplete dominance occurs when one gene is one allele is not entirely dominant over another allele, while co-dominance occurs when neither allele is dominant at all.

So, a gene expressing co-dominance (view this simply) could be: AB.

Could an example of incomplete dominance be expressed as: Ab?

I can't find the term incomplete dominance in neither my notes nor my excel bio textbook, but the term sounds really familiar.

All help appreciated.

Incomplete Dominance is NOT in the syllabus, so you need not to worry about it.

For the sake of answering your question, I think incomplete dominance is expressed as a different letter. For example Red (R) + White (W) = Pink (P)

incomplete dominance is just that: the incomplete dominance of a certain allele, which results in a phenotype that is intermediate of the 'dominant' and recessive alleles.

incomplete dominance is not represented with a new letter: that would i think imply that there is another new, and different allele that has come into play. it hasn't. it would be represented as usual.

co-dominance describes the occurance of both alleles - unaltered - being expressed as the phenotype. e.g, red cow + white cow = red and white cow. (or, RR + WW = RW. uppercase = dominant, lowercase = recessive, both alleles = expressed as the phenotype = both represented with uppercase letters)
