Dominant Alleles Red Gene Flower White Homo Represented

Front Codominance
Back
  • occurs when 2 dominant alles occur for a gene that are equally dominant and so both alleles expressed as phenotype
  • e.g colour of snapdragon flower either red or white (alleles coding for these colours both dominant), so flower can be red (homo dominant red), white (homo dominant white) or pink (hetero)
  • the alleles are represented using a capital letter for the gene (e.g C here) and the alleles represented by second letter shown as superscript (e.g here its C^R for red and C^W for white)
