Incomplete Dominance & Codominance
... Dominant - a term applied to the trait (allele) that is expressed irregardless of the second allele. Usually indicated with a Capital Letter (ex. A, L, P) Recessive - a term applied to a trait that is only expressed when the second allele is the same (Usually indicated with a lower-case letter (ex. ...

This can be used to determine the frequency of the alleles for a particular trait in a population • Assume a gene pool of 10 gametes for a gene which is controlled by only 2 alleles – 8 are allele A – 2 are allele a – Frequency of A is 8/10 or .8 – Frequency of a is 2/10 or .2 – How many light blue ...
