Which Traits Are Codominant or Incompletely Dominant?

Incomplete dominance is when the phenotypes of the two parents blend together to create a new phenotype for their offspring. An example is a white flower and a red flower producing pink flowers. Codominance is when the two parent phenotypes are expressed together in the offspring.

What traits are codominant?

A trait resulting from an allele that is independently and equally expressed along with the other. An example of codominant trait is blood type, i.e. a person of blood type AB has one allele for blood type A and another for blood type B.

What is an example of an incompletely dominant trait?

Children born with semi-curly or wavy hair are an example of individuals exhibiting incomplete dominance because the crossing of parents alleles both straight and curly hairs to produce such offspring. Thus, incomplete dominance occurs to produce an intermediate trait between the two parent traits.
