If a person with two different alleles has a phenotype that is an intermediate between the two types favored by each allele on its own, the trait may be considered to __________.

A) be codominant
B) have incomplete dominance
C) be recessive
D) have dominance

Incomplete Dominance

A genetic situation in which two alleles produce a phenotype that is a blend of both parental traits.

Codominant

Codominant refers to a genetic scenario where two different alleles of a gene are expressed equally in the phenotype of a heterozygote.

Recessive

A term for a gene that directs the development of a particular characteristic only if the corresponding gene on the other chromosome matches it—i.e., is the same allele.
