Definition that contains phenotype
- dominant an allele that produces the same phenotype whether its paired allele is identical or different
- dominant (of genes) producing the same phenotype whether its allele is identical or dissimilar
- dominance the organic phenomenon in which one of a pair of alleles present in a genotype is expressed in the phenotype and the other allele of the pair is not
- reversion (genetics) a return to a normal phenotype (usually resulting from a second mutation)
- recessive an allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical
- recessive (of genes) producing its characteristic phenotype only when its allele is identical
- phenotypical of or relating to or constituting a phenotype
- polygene a gene that by itself has little effect on the phenotype but which can act together with others to produce observable variations
- saltation (genetics) a mutation that drastically changes the phenotype of an organism or species
- recessive allele an allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical
