Example: The gene for flower color can have a red allele and a white allele.
Example: The red flowers of a plant are its phenotype.
Example: A plant with one red allele and one white allele has a genotype of Rr.
Example: In complete dominance, the dominant allele completely masks the recessive allele.
Example: A plant with two red alleles (RR) is homozygous for flower color.
Example: A plant with one red allele and one white allele (Rr) is heterozygous.
