Alleles for a trait are then "recombined" at fertilization, producing the genotype for the traits of the offspring.✌️✌️✌️☺️☺️☺️

The gene for fur colour in rabbits appears to be an example of Incomplete Dominance.
- As we can see here, the parents have the phenotype of white colour and black colour.
- However, the offspring is said to have a grey phenotype.
- When the phenotype of none of the parents is expressed and the offspring has a characteristic that is intermediate to those of the parents, then it is called incomplete dominnace.
- Here, white and black are bred to express grey characteristics. Hence, this is an example of incomplete dominance.
- Another example of incomplete dominance is the colour of flowers of rose plants where white and red flowers give rise to pink flowers.
