If fur color in fluffypuff monsters follows codominance for

If fur color in fluffypuff monsters follows codominance for green (G) and yellow (Y), determine the alleles that would produce the phenotype of the fluffypuff monster below. Include in your answer the genotype of this fluffypuff, possible genotypes of its parents, and a definition of codominance.

Solution

Assuming that the fluffypuff given is green and yellow, the alleles would be G and Y

the genotype of fluffy puff would be GY

the genotype of its parents would be GG and YY .

Codominance can be defined as the interaction of genes where the two alleles are both expressed together. Like in this example, individual alleles given green and yellow color but when present together, they give yellow and green color.
