Question

Do you have a straight thumb or a hitchhikers thumb? Is this the dominant(H) or recessive(h) allele?

15. Define Homozygous

16. Define Heterozygous

17. What is shown as an example of incomplete dominance? Explain how incomplete dominance works in this example.

Answer 1

i have a straight one

Answer 2

I have a straight one too. :) Homozygous means that the two alleles of a gene are the same. Heterogygous means that the two allele of the same gene are different.

Answer 3

thanks and do u know the 17th?

Answer 4

Well two alleles of a same gene can be dominant or recessive. For instance, the brown eye allele will be dominant to the blue eye allele. Incomplete dominance happens when the alleles are heterozygous, but the dominant one is not completely dominant. Just imagine two alleles for the colour of a flower, one is red, the other one is white. When there is incomplete dominance, the flower with theses two alleles will be of a pink shade.
