Avid Writer Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Hello, I am working on a children's fiction novel and my genetics are a bit rusty, so I would like to receive help regarding inherited traits. In the narrative, I would like for two traits to produce three outcomes. Consider the traits as F or E. Then, children from an F and an E parent would have F, or E, and very rarely, FE. Taking away dominance and recession, how do I make this work? Punnett Squares arent helping but I may be doing something wrong. Get in touch!

iRNAblogger Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hey, there is a simple solution: incomplete dominance! This phenomenon is when the heterozygote (in your novel, I guess this would mean the EF individuals) exhibits a phenotype somewhere intermediate to the dominant and recessive phenotypes.
