SYN:
partial dominance
The situation in which both alleles of a heterozygote influence the
phenotype. The phenotype is usually intermediate between the two homozygous
phenotypes. The situation in which a heterozygote shows a phenotype
somewhere (but not exactly half-way) intermediate between the corresponding
homozygote phenotypes. (Exact intermediacy is no dominance.) See also
dominance, codominance and recessivity. |
