Incomplete Dominance
Phenotype (the appearance) of the offspring can appears to be a combination of the parents phenotypes.
When none of the alleles are completely dominant, the condition is called incomplete dominance. One way
that we represent alleles in incomplete dominance is to use
superscripts.
For example, we can use C to talk about the colour of a
flower. The alleles can be represented as superscripts - R for
red (CR) and W for white (CW)
In snapdragons, flowers can be red, white, or pink. R = red,
W = white. A pure red flower is crossed with a pure white
flower. Show the F1 and F2 phenotypes.
Parent: CRCR (red) x CWCW (white)
F1 generation: ____________________ x _______________________
