Punnett squares are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offsprin

g. An incomplete dominance cross is performed between a bird that is homozygous for red feathers and a bird that is homozygous for blue feathers. Purple offspring result. Then, two of the purple offspring are crossed. According to the Punnett square for this cross, how many of the offspring from the second cross will have a feather color that results from incomplete dominance?

<span>The answer is two. In incomplete dominance, heterozygotes have a trait that is intermediary between dominant and recessive homozygote. Let allele A be dominant and allele a recessive allele. The genotypes and phenotypes are as following: genotype: AA - phenotype: dominant homozygote with red feathers, genotype: Aa - heterozygote with purple feathers, and genotype: aa - recessive homozygote with blue feathers. In the cross of two purple birds (Aa x Aa), we have 1 bird with genotype AA and red feathers, 2 birds with genotype Aa and purple feathers, and 1 bird with genotype aa with blue feathers.</span>

Which traits are codominant or incompletey dominant? ( these traits don’t have a clear dominant or recessive , the heterozygous
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Codominant-  traits don’t have a clear dominant or recessive

incomplete dominance-  the heterozygous condition shows a “blending” or a “middle” condition

Explanation:

In codominance, the traits are expressed equally in the phenotype thus they don't have a clear dominant or recessive state. For example the ABO blood group alleles. The alleles A and B are codominant each being expressed equally.

In incomplete dominance the traits show intermediate expression where one allele expresses itself more strongly than the other. An example in man is seen in the inheritance of the disease sickle cell anaemia. Heterozygote who carry the sickle cell gene are said to have sickle cell trait and as such the carrier allele (HBa) has a stronger influence on the phenotype than the dominant alle (HBs).
