Incomplete Dominance
Definition: Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.
Incomplete genetic dominance is similar to, but different from co-dominance . In co-dominance, an additional phenotype is produced, however, both alleles are expressed completely. Co-dominance is represented in AB blood inheritance, which I will talk about later. Example: Incomplete dominance is seen in cross-pollination experiments between red and white snapdragon plants. |
