Term
|
Definition
| A condition in which the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed thereby resulting in offspring |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A kind of dominance occurring in heterozygotes in which the dominant allele is only partially expressed, and usually resulting in an offspring with an intermediate phenotype.
