for example , if two people with $ l^ml^n $ genotypes had children , we would expect to see m , mn , and n blood types and $ l^ml^m $ , $ l^ml^n $ , and $ l^nl^n $ genotypes in their children in a $ 1:2:1 $ ratio ( if they had enough children for us to determine ratios accurately ! ) multiple alleles mendel 's work sug...
what is the difference between multiple alleles and codominance ?
introduction gregor mendel knew how to keep things simple . in mendel 's work on pea plants , each gene came in just two different versions , or alleles , and these alleles had a nice , clear-cut dominance relationship ( with the dominant allele fully overriding the recessive allele to determine the plant 's appearance...

in some cases , however , the phenotype of a heterozygous organism can actually be a blend between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents . for example , in the snapdragon , antirrhinum majus , a cross between a homozygous white-flowered plant ( $ c^wc^w $ ) and a homozygous red-flowered plant ( $ c^rc^r $ ) will pro...
there are two types of albinism that is common in reptiles.. tyrosinase positive and tyrosinase negative.. the presence of the enzyme tyrosinase colors the albino , such as creating purple or lavender eyes as opposed to the classic pink eye.. my question is ..can you have a double homozygous animal ?

so basically , a gene can have multiple number of alleles- but only up to 2 ?

for example , self-fertilization of a pink plant would produce a genotype ratio of $ 1 $ $ c^rc^r $ $ : $ $ 2 $ $ c^rc^w $ $ : $ $ 1 $ $ c^wc^w $ and a phenotype ratio of $ 1:2:1 $ red : pink : white . alleles are still inherited according to mendel 's basic rules , even when they show incomplete dominance . codominanc...
can you give me a general summary of the difference between incomplete dominance and co-dominance ?

a $ c^hc^h $ rabbit has himalayan ( color-point ) patterning , with a white body and dark ears , face , feet , and tail a $ cc $ rabbit is albino , with a pure white coat . multiple alleles makes for many possible dominance relationships . in this case , the black $ c $ allele is completely dominant to all the others ;...
*this is a question that is not actually about the article , but relates to the article* my mom says red hair skips a generation in her family ... ..how is this possible ?
