Question

Which of the following best describes incomplete dominance?
Options
A Full expression of both alleles
B Dominant allele masking the recessive
C Intermediate phenotype resulting from heterozygosity
Correct Answer
D Epistatic control over a gene pair
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote exhibits a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. For example, in snapdragons, red (RR) crossed with white (WW) produces pink (RW) offspring.

Hint

The heterozygote shows a blend, not the full expression of either allele.
