Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Incomplete dominance is a form of inheritance where ____
A
One allele is dominant over the other
B
One allele is expressed in a different location than it should be
C
One allele is not completely expressed over another allele
D
One allele eats the other
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Incomplete dominance is a form of Gene interaction in which both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate or different phenotype. It is also known as partial dominance. For eg., in roses, the allele for red colour is dominant over the allele for white colour.

Detailed explanation-2: -In incomplete dominance, both alleles of the homozygous genotypes are not expressed over one another; rather, an intermediate heterozygote is formed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Incomplete dominance is a pattern of inheritance in which both allele are present resulting in an intermediate phenotype.

Detailed explanation-4: -In complete dominance, only one allele in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in the phenotype. Created by Ross Firestone.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cases in which one allele is not completely dominant over another are called incomplete dominance. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype lies somewhere between the two homozygous phenotypes.
