| incomplete dominance | <genetics> Two alleles of a gene which result in distinctly different phenotypes, but when they are both inherited together in an individual (one from the mother and one from the father - called heterozygosity), the individual ends up with a blend of the two phenotypes.

(This is in contrast to codominance, where the individual would inherit patches of blue and patches of red hair). (13 Nov 1997) |
