Describe The Difference Between Two Parent's Phenotypes

Codominance is between true breeding (both parents are homozygous and one is homozygous dominant, while the other is homozygous recessive), and the offspring is heterozygous. The phenotype of both parents are present in the offspring. An example of codominance is if a white flower (rr) and a red flower (RR) breed to produce an offspring (Rr), whose phenotype is red and white stripes, therefore showing that both parents’ phenotype is present. Incomplete dominance is also between true breeding, and the offspring is once again, heterozygous. The phenotype however, is a bend between both the parents’ phenotype. An example of incomplete dominance would be if a white flower (rr) and red flower (RR) breed, and their offspring (Rr), has the phenotype of pink, a mix between both of it’s parents phenotypes. Both incompletely dominant and codominant phenotype result from a homozygous genotype because these two’s parents are both homozygous, therefore making the offspring heterozygous. …show more content…
The genes for red eyes along with gray bodies are close together, which is why red-eyed fruit flies’ bodies tend to be gray. The Mendel law that it violates is independent assortment. Crossing over can affect linkage because if a chromosome it changes the genes, therefore making more recombinants available. The more space genes have between each other, the higher the rate of crossing over is. Meanwhile if there isn’t much space, the chances of crossing over isn’t very
