Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is Incomplete Dominance?
A
A condition in which both alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed
B
Is the likelihood that a specific event will occur or is the likely outcome a given event will occur from random chance
C
A form of blended inheritance in which one allele
D
the trait that is masked in the heterozygous condition.
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Incomplete Dominance During Mendel’s time, people believed in a concept of blending inheritance whereby offspring demonstrated intermediate phenotypes between those of the parental generation. This was refuted by Mendel’s pea experiments that illustrated a Law of Dominance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Incomplete dominance results from a cross in which each parental contribution is genetically unique and gives rise to progeny whose phenotype is intermediate. Incomplete dominance is also referred to as semi-dominance and partial dominance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Codominance and Incomplete dominance are two types of genetic inheritance. Codominance essentially means that no allele can block or mask the expression of the other allele. On the other hand, incomplete dominance is a condition in which a dominant allele does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele.
