This question can be answered in many ways, including graphics. 1. Define or explain the following 4 terms, as they are used in genetics: dominant, recessive, co-dominant, and partially (incompletely) dominant. Give examples of each (invent your own if you cannot remember specific ones from the book). Dominant: An allele is dominant, relative to a second allele, if it expresses its phenotype in an individual heterozygous for the two alleles. Recessive: A recessive allele does not express its phenotype when heterozygous. Co-dominant: Two alleles are codominant if BOTH are expressed in a heterozygote. Partially dominant: An allele is partially dominant if the phenotype of the heterozygote is not the same as either homozygote. http://www.biology.usu.edu/courses/biol3060-wolf/Exam%20prep/Exam%201%20key.htm 1/25/2008
