Incomplete Dominance

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Incomplete dominance produces a heterozygote phenotype intermediate between its two homozygous parent phenotypes, rather than matching one parent's trait exactly.

Show

Crossing red-flowered and white-flowered snapdragons produces pink-flowered heterozygotes, intermediate between the two parent colors.

Watch for

An intermediate phenotype is not blending inheritance revived — the alleles stay distinct and separate normally in the next generation.
