Incomplete Dominance


Incomplete Dominance is a condition in which a heterozygous offspring has a phenotype that is distinct from, and intermediate to, homozygous, parental phenotype. An example is in cross-pollination experiments between red and white snapdragon plants, the resulting offspring are pink. The dominant allele that produces the red color is not completely expressed over the recessive allele that produces the white color.
