Expert Solution

Step 1

The alleles are generally of dominant and recessive type and some other forms like codominant and incomplete dominant are also present. Here in this condition we are taking dominant and recessive conditions.

Just to explain dominant and receive we have taken eye colour

Taking red eye colour it is dominant to white eye colour

Red allele R white r

RR and Rr gives red colour eye

rr gives white eye colour
