Question 9 of 10 Which statement describes incomplete dominance when different alleles are present? A. Only one allele determines the phenotype. B. The phenotype is completely masked and not present. C. The phenotype is an intermediate combination. D. Both traits are shown at the same time.

Answer 1

C. The phenotype is an intermediate combination.

Answer 2

Incomplete dominance is a form of inheritance where neither allele is completely dominant over the other. Instead of one allele masking the effect of the other, the phenotype expressed is a blending or intermediate combination of the traits associated with each allele. This is distinct from complete dominance, where one allele completely masks the presence of the other, and codominance, where both traits are expressed simultaneously and visibly distinct.
