Definition: Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the dominant and recessive phenotypes.
An example of a common X-linked recessive trait is redâgreen color blindness, which affects about 10% of males but is unusual among females. In males, the gene for color blindness comes from a mother who usually has normal vision but is a carrier of the color-blindness gene.n example of a common X-linked recessive trait is redâgreen color blindness, which affects about 10% of males but is unusual among females.
