Detailed explanation-1: -Children born with semi-curly or wavy hair are an example of individuals exhibiting incomplete dominance because the crossing of parents alleles both straight and curly hairs to produce such offspring. Thus, incomplete dominance occurs to produce an intermediate trait between the two parent traits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Incomplete Dominance in Animals Chickens with blue feathers are an example of incomplete dominance. When a black and a white chicken reproduce and neither allele is completely dominant, the result is a blue-feathered bird.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the difference between incomplete dominance and codominance? Codominance signifies that no allele can block or mask the expression of the other allele. Incomplete dominance signifies the condition in which a dominant allele does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele.
