what is the key to the recognition of incomplete
dominance?
a. the heterozygote expresses the phenotype of both
homozygotes.
b. the phenotype of the heterozygote falls between the phenotypes
of the homozygotes.
c. the alleles affect more than one trait.
d. the trait exhibits a continuous distribution.
Option b. Incomplete dominance is a condition where neither of the allele suppresses the effect of the other allele, when present together (heterozygote). The phenotypes of both dominant and recessive allele mix to form a new phenotype. The new phenotype is an intermediate between the phenotype of the homozygotes. For example, when cattle having red coat (RR) is crossed with cattle having white coat (rr), the coat color of the offspring is roan (Rr), which is a blend of the two homozygotes.
