Incomplete Dominance, Codominance, Polygenic Traits, and Epistasis by the Amoeba Sisters on YouTube
1. Traits that do not follow basic rules of dominant and recessive traits, such as incomplete and codominance. *
1 point
2. The dominant allele is not completely expressed when the recessive allele is present. The dominant and recessive traits mix together to form the phenotype. *
1 point
3. Alleles work together and are both present in equal amounts in the phenotype. *
