They can be classified as dominant or recessive. The dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype, while the recessive allele is masked when paired with a dominant allele. 3. **Example of Incomplete Dominance**: A classic example of incomplete dominance can be observed in the flower color of snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus). In this case, the red flower color (represented by the allele R) is dominant, while the white flower color (represented by the allele r) is recessive. ...
