Incomplete Dominance and Codominance
Humans inherit two alleles for each gene, and their interaction determines how traits are expressed—homozygous if both alleles are the same, and heterozygous if they differ. In complete dominance, one allele masks the other; in...

Tips & Tricks for Pedigree analysis
Dominant trait needs only 1 affected allele, whereas recessive trait needs both allele. Normally a dominant trait will be seen in all generations, but a recessive trait may skip generations. We can have X-linked dominant or autosomal...

Codominance: Non-mendelian Inheritance
Multiple allele traits are controlled by a single gene with more than two allele variants, as seen in the ABO blood group system, which involves the alleles IA, IB, and i. The six possible genotypes result in four blood types, with IA...
