Cards (4)

  • What is codominance
    2 alleles that are equally dominant
  • multiple alleles
    certain traits that are under the control of more than 2 alleles
  • ABO blood groups
    three alleles for the antigen on blood cells
    the Ia alleles produce A type antigens
    the Ib alleles produce B type antigens
    the io allele codes for the production of no antigens (recessive)
  • incomplete dominance
    the action of one allele ones not completely mask the action of the other and neither allele has dominant control over the trait. the heterozygous offspring is intermediate in phenotype and shows a blennding of features
