Definition of Incomplete Dominance
In nature, sexual reproduction is a process by which organisms increase genetic diversity in their offspring, where parents donate genetic material for specific traits (genes) to progeny (offspring). This is done so that the offspring will have a different combination of traits than their parents. Alternate versions of a gene are called alleles, and they determine what characteristics are exhibited in the individual.
In dominant and recessive heredity, dominant alleles are those that require only one copy to be displayed. Recessive alleles, however, require two alleles in order to show up in the organism. So under most circumstances, an individual with one dominant and one recessive allele (called a heterozygote) will only express the dominant version. However, this is not the case when it comes to incomplete dominance.
