The longest serving ruler of Germany (1440-1493), âFredâ was also Holy Roman Emperor from 1452 to 1493, although by that time being Roman Emperor did not mean the same as it did in ancient times. Fred had been born in Innsbruck, Austria and was the Archduke of Austria (1424-1493).
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.
The flowers on Mendel's pea plant are an example of complete dominance, or when the dominant allele completely covers up the recessive allele. In addition to complete dominance, scientists have found incomplete dominance, where there is a blending, and codominance, where both alleles show up. An example of incomplete dominance is when a red carnation is crossed with a white carnation and the offspring are pink or a blending of the parents. An example of codominance is a roan cow where one parent is red and one parent is white. The roan cow has white and red because both alleles are expressed.
