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.
Dominant/recessive inheritance is a common topic in genetics. Incomplete dominance is a naturally occurring phenomenon that may be present during the expression of this type of inheritance. This article describes incomplete dominance and examples found in nature.
