Question

Explain Mendel's law of dominance. Write a note on incomplete dominance.

Hint:

Remember: Dominance means one allele masks another; incomplete dominance results in blending traits

Answer 1

Mendel's Law of Dominance: According to this law, when two contrasting alleles are present in an individual, the dominant allele is expressed while the recessive allele is masked. 
Incomplete Dominance: In incomplete dominance, neither allele is completely dominant, resulting in an intermediate phenotype, such as pink flowers in snapdragons (a mix of red and white).
