Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Incomplete dominance is the one wherein dominant gene does not mask or suppress the expression of recessive gene in an `F_(1)` hybrid. This phenomenon was discovered by correns in 1903. It was also called as Blending inheritance. In incomplete dominance, `F_(1)` generation has a phenotype that does not resemble either of the two parents, but is a mixture of the two, example flower colour in dog flower where RR-red flowers, rr white flowers, Rr pink flowers. Here genotypic ratio remains same as in mendelian crosses, but phenotype ratio changes since complete dominance is not shown by R.
