Blog for 3/5

Something I could tell my future self is about co- dominance and incomplete dominance. Co-dominance is when both alleles have the same amount of dominance, and so, in the end, the both alleles show up. For example, if the alleles were for hair color, and there was yellow and blue, and they were co-dominant, the hair color would be yellow and blue. Incomplete dominance is when the allele isn't dominant all the way, so as a result, the alleles mix together. For example, using the info from the example before, if you had yellow and blue hair color alleles, and they were both incompletely dominant, the colors would mix and then turn green. You would have green hair if that were to happen.
