Let me help you by explaining an example for you. --Pretend that we're talking about the color of a mouse. --Pretend that ( B ) means BLACK, and ( b ) means WHITE. -- Pretend that the mouse's genotype is (B b). --------------- In COMPLETE Dominance, a mouse with (B b) would be BLACK. Because in Complete Dominance, the Capital letter always matters more than the lowercase letter. ---------------- In CODOMINANCE, a mouse with (B b) would be BLACK AND WHITE. Because in Codominance, the two letters are equally important. ------------- In INCOMPLETE Dominance, a mouse with (B b) would be GRAY. Because in Incomplete Dominance, the two colors combine together. Black + White = Gray. (HINT, Red + White = Pink)
