Phrases with «complete dominance»

"Complete dominance" refers to a genetic trait that only requires one version of a gene (allele) to be present for it to be expressed in an organism's physical characteristics, masking the presence of other versions of the gene. This means that if an organism inherits the dominant allele from either parent, it will show the trait associated with that allele, even if it also carries a different, recessive allele.
