Dominance (genetics) by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-13 Updated 2026-10-24
The relationship between the phenotype of a heterozygote and those of the two corresponding homozygotes at a genetic locus. Under complete dominance, one allele gives the same phenotype in the heterozygote as in its homozygote; the term describes expression rather than the frequency or evolutionary advantage of the allele.
