Question

Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon flowers as an exmaple

Answer 1

when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the organism's resulting physical appearance shows a blending of both allele

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross-pollination between red snapdragons and white snapdragons result in pink when neither the white or the red alleles are dominant.

Answer 2

Sample Answer:

Incomplete dominance is seen in offspring that have a third phenotype not seen in the parents. Snapdragons are an example. The third phenotype results when a snapdragon with the red pigment protein crosses with a snapdragon with a defective gene that produces no pigment, resulting in a white snapdragon. The offspring receive one allele from each parent, resulting in half the amount of pigmentation for red color being expressed. The offspring will be pink snapdragons instead of red or white.
