Genotypes and Phenotypes from left to right
RR (red), WW (white), RW (pink)
Since the RW plant is in between-looking (pink is in between red and white), neither allele (R or W) dominates, meaning the characteristic or trait is demonstrating
Incomplete Dominance
Genotype and Phenotype of the chicken
BW - black and white speckled
Since the chicken appears to have some parts of its feathers that are white and some that are black, both alleles (B and W) dominate, meaning the characteristic or trait is demonstrating
Codominance
co- means jointly or mutually, so it literally means the alleles are mutually dominant
Genotype and Phenotype of the cows from top to bottom
WW - white
RR - red (I know the cow looks brown, but this reddish brown color in the hairs is known as red to bovine geneticists)
RW - roan - red and white speckled
Since the RW cow appears to have some parts of its hide that have white hairs and some that have the reddish brown hairs, both alleles (R and W) dominate, meaning the characteristic or trait is demonstrating
Codominance
co- means jointly or mutually, so it literally means the alleles are mutually dominant
Genotypes and Phenotypes from left to right
WW (white), RR (red), RW (pink)
Since the RW plant is in between-looking (pink is in between red and white), neither allele (R or W) dominates, meaning the characteristic or trait is demonstrating
Incomplete Dominance
Genotype and Phenotype of this plant
RW (red and white speckled)
Since the RW plant appears to have some flowering parts that are white and some that are red, both alleles (R and W) dominate, meaning the characteristic or trait is demonstrating
Codominance
co- means jointly or mutually, so it literally means the alleles are mutually dominant
