Detailed explanation-1: -Incomplete dominance occurs in the heterozygote, in which the dominant allele does not dominate the recessive allele entirely; rather, an intermediate trait appears in the offspring. Codominance occurs when the alleles do not show any dominant and recessive allele relationship.
Detailed explanation-2: -Recessive – an allele that is masked by a dominant allele; does not appear in the heterozygous condition, only in homozygous.
Detailed explanation-3: -The effect of the other allele (the recessive allele) is masked by the dominant allele. Typically, an individual who carries two copies of a dominant allele exhibits the same trait as those who carry only one copy. This contrasts to a recessive trait, which requires that both alleles be present to express the trait.
Detailed explanation-4: -Incomplete Dominance Examples in Humans One example of incomplete dominance in humans is wavy hair. There are two alleles for hair texture, curly or straight. If a person is homozygous for either type of these alleles, they either have curly hair or they have straight hair.
