Solution

Complete dominance in inheritance pattern:

  1. A kind of heterozygous dominance is complete dominance.
  2. The dominant allele completely eliminates the impact of the recessive allele in total dominance.
  3. For example, if a person possesses two dominant alleles (for example, AA), the trait that they represent will appear.
  4. As a result, the heterozygote will have the same phenotypic characteristics as the dominant homozygotes.
  5. Brown eyes, for example, are extremely dominant characteristics.
