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.
There are different forms of the same trait. In this next video notice the different shapes of the noses. These would be examples of alleles because they are different forms of the same trait Traits can also be dominant or recessive Each individual has two alleles for each gene, one coming from each female and the other from the male. With dominant traits, an individual carries either two dominant genes or one dominant and one recessive gene. A dominant gene can be expressed even if only one copy of the gene is present. A recessive trait will only be expressed if an individual has two recessive alleles. In this example purple color is dominant over white color
