BIOLOGY GENETICS HELP

Give an example of how you could determine whether or not a trait was displaying incomplete dominance. What would you do? What would your results have to be for the trait to be incomplete dominant?

Answer 1

Incomplete dominance can be described as a phenomenon in which the dominant trait is not completely dominant over the recessive trait. Incomplete dominance can be determined when the dominant and the recessive trait merge to form a third type of trait. A new phenotype arises due to such a cross.

For example, when a black-feathered chicken is crossed with a white chicken and their alleles shown incomplete dominance, then offsprings having blue feathers can be seen.
