Question
of a heterozygous allele pair
(red flower+blue flower =purple flower)
if the dragons in harry potter have fire power alleles, f
(strong fire) and f°(no fire), that follow incomplete dominance,
what are the phenotypes for the following dragon - fire
genotypes:
| genotypes | phenotypes |
|---|---|
| ff° | |
| f°f° | no fire |
Step1: Define incomplete dominance
In incomplete dominance, heterozygotes show an intermediate phenotype, not the dominant trait.
Step2: Assign FF phenotype
FF is homozygous for the strong fire allele (F), so it shows the strong fire phenotype.
Step3: Assign Ff phenotype
Ff is heterozygous. Per incomplete dominance, it shows an intermediate phenotype between strong fire and no fire: weak fire.
Step4: Assign ff phenotype
ff is homozygous for the no fire allele (f), so it shows the no fire phenotype.
