| Your observable traits | Phenotype |
| Dominant allele | Determines the phenotype if one or both copies of the allele are present |
| Recessive | determines phenotype only when two copies of the allele are preseent |
| The passing of genetic material from parents to offspring | Heredity |
| Incomplete Dominance | each allele in a heterozygous individual influences the phenotype |
| Codominance | Both of the alleles in a heterozygous individual contribute to the phenotype. |
