4/11/ 12 Bell Ringer What does incomplete dominance mean? If I had a Red Homozygous Flower and a White Homozygous Flower, what would the Heterozygous Flower look like in incomplete dominance? If I had a Dark Brown Homozygous Horse and a White Homozygous Horse, what would the Heterozygous Horse look like in incomplete dominance?

Homozygous Heterozygous Homozygous Incomplete Dominance When one allele is not completely dominant over another. Heterozygous phenotype is between the two homozygous phenotypes. Homozygous Heterozygous Homozygous

Now you try one A Heterozygous snapdragon flower is crossed with another Heterozygous snapdragon flower. What Genotypes and Phenotypes could the offspring potentially have? x RR’ RR’

Codominance When two dominant alleles are expressed at the same time. The phenotypes of both homozygotes are produced in heterozygotes.

Now you try one A Heterozygous Chicken is crossed with a Homozygous White Chicken. What Genotypes and Phenotypes could the offspring potentially have? BW WW

W B WW BW 50% BW 50% WW 50% Checkered 50% White

Multiple Alleles Some traits can have multiple alleles that control what phenotype an organism will have. B = Dominant to b but recessive to B A B = Dominant b = Recessive to both of the other alleles A

Multiple Alleles In Humans BLOOD TYPING: Single gene that has multiple alleles O A B AB

How is a person’s blood type determined? By the presence or absence of large molecules (Antigens) on the red blood cells. Antibodies (part of our immune system) react with foreign antigens so it is important for doctors to know their patients blood type.

There are 3 alleles for blood type ABO Blood Group HUMAN BLOOD TYPES PHENOTYPE GENOTYPE A AA or AO B BB or BO AB O OO There are 3 alleles for blood type A, B, and O

A is dominant to O B is dominant to O A and B are Codominant HUMAN BLOOD TYPES PHENOTYPE GENOTYPE A AA or AO B BB or BO AB O OO There are 3 alleles for blood type: A, B, and O A is dominant to O B is dominant to O A and B are Codominant

How many different allele combinations are there for Blood Type? AA AB AO BB BO OO

A person with the blood type AA is crossed with a person with the blood type BB. What blood types could their offspring have?
