Incomplete dominance means:
Correct answer: C. Phenotype of heterozygote is intermediate
- A. Different alleles expressed in heterozygous condition
- B. Complete dominance of one allele
- C. Phenotype of heterozygote is intermediate
- D. Gene mutation produces alleles
Explanation
In incomplete dominance, heterozygotes show a blended phenotype (intermediate between homozygotes).

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
