Incomplete dominance occurs in the polygenic inheritance of traits such as eye color and skin color. Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele.
Similarly, it is asked, which is an example of incomplete dominance?
When one parent with straight hair and one with curly hair have a child with wavy hair, that's an example of incomplete dominance. Eye color is often cited as an example of incomplete dominance.
Accordingly, how do you show incomplete dominance?
If the phenotype was "red" then r allele is dominant to b. If the phenotype was "blue" then b allele is dominant to r. If the phenotype was "purple" then these alleles show incomplete dominance. If the phenotype had some types of cells "red" and others "blue" then these alleles show codominance.
A trait inherited by incomplete dominance is not a blend of two alleles because both aer equal and appear on the phenotype. Cystic fibrosis, which causes breathing problems and death, is caused by inherited recessive genes.
