What are Pieds? (Jinx)

[paulh]

Well I would just like to say that incomplete dominance is the dominant allele incompletely dominating the recessive allele to create a blending effect. If the pied is considered a codominant, then it's not incomplete dominant because it possesses the dominant allele. That is codominance not incomplete dominance, but it's a common belief.

Here's the problem with the above definition: which allele is dominant and which is recessive? A better definition is two alleles that produce a blending effect in the phenotype. That is shorter and avoids the problem.

Actually, for breeders, codominance and incomplete dominance are synonyms. I prefer "codominance" simply because it has 11 letters to type. "Incomplete dominance" has 20.
