i take 9th grade biology and the first person is right. its an example of incomplete dominance.
this is from my notes in bio:
Incomplete dominance occurs when both alleles are expressed; the heterozygous phenotype is somewhere in between the 2 homozygous phenotypes.
Ex. Japaneses 4 o'clock flowers
A red flower crossed with a white flower will result in..
Let RR= red and WW= white
100% RW which is 100% pink flowers
Codominance is what the second answerer said.
Codominance occurs when both alleles are expressed and they contribute to the phenotype.
Ex. Chicken feathers
A chicken with black feathers crossed with a chicken with white feathers will result in...
Let BB= black and WW= white
100% BW which is 100% "erminette" feathers (black and white speckled)
In crossing the four o'clock flowers, red and white flowers produce pink flowers. this is an example of ...
Incomplete dominance.
