Incomplete dominance are rule breakers, which means
they are non-mendelian traits. They dont follow regular Mendelian rules, which says that having a dominant allele means the dominant trait will be expressed. Snapdragon is a type of specific flower which is used in the study of genetics that shows incomplete dominance.
In snapdragon genetics, there can be 3 phenotypes
Red, white or something in between-PINK. Its called incomplete dominance In incomplete dominance, the dominant allele is not completely expressed whn the recessive allele is around. Neither allele is completely dominant over another and instead the two being incompletely dominant, mixing together. If you cross a red flower (RR) and a white flower (rr), the offsprings are produced with (Rr)
Sickle cell disease is the result of incomplete
dominance as those who have the disease carry 50% normal and 50% abnomal hemoglobin. When one parent carries normal hemoglobin and the other with abnormal hemoglobin, the two will have a baby with a disease known assickle cell disease.
