Incomplete dominance
Incomplete dominance is a condition when neither allele is dominant over the other. The condition is recognized by the heterozygotes expressing an intermediate phenotype relative to the parental phenotypes.

Incomplete dominance. A condition where a heterozygous off- spring has a phenotype that is distinctly different from, and intermediate to, the parental phenotypes. See Heterozygote, Phenotype.

Incomplete dominance
The heterozygote has a different, intermediate phenotype compared to the homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive individuals.

incomplete dominance An interaction between alleles in which both alleles are expressed more or less equally, and the phenotype of the heterozygote is different from either homozygote.

Genetics - Incomplete Dominance
So far, we have seen that a gene pair is made up of two genes inherited from the parents of a living thing. We have seen that a dominate gene will mask, or hide the traits of a recessive gene.

Problem 9: Incomplete dominance
In Mendel's experiments, if the gene for tall (T) plants was incompletely dominant over the gene for short (t) plants, what would be the result of crossing two Tt plants?

One exception is incomplete dominance (sometimes called blending inheritance) when alleles blend their traits in the phenotype.

Codominance is different than Incomplete dominance (blending).
Pleiotropy
Genes that affect more than one trait are called pleiotropic.

Extended expression patterns seen in diploid organisms include facets of incomplete dominance, codominance, and multiple alleles .

Incomplete dominance appears as a blend of the phenotypes corresponding to the two alleles (like pink petals as opposed to red or white). In co-dominance, both alleles equally contribute to the phenotype (red and white petals occur together).
