This fifth part of our genetics series explores the concepts of incomplete dominance and co-dominance. In incomplete dominance, such as the blending of a red flower and a white flower to create a pink flower, neither allele is dominant, leading to a mix of traits. Co-dominance, indicated by the prefix "co," means both alleles are fully expressed, as seen in certain breeds of animals. Additionally, we address the ongoing debate of nature versus nurture, discussing how genetics and upbringing shape who we are.

Genetics Voc. Part 5
Incomplete Dominance • Prefix: In = without • Red flower + white flower = pink flower Neither allele is dominant, they are blended.
Pedigree • Family Tree
Co-dominance • Prefix: Co = with • Both alleles are expressed
Nature Vs. Nurture • Nature – you are the way you are because of your genes • Nurture – you are the way you are because of the way you were raised
