Heredity - Incomplete Dominance

Incomplete Dominance

Sometimes alleles are not dominant or recessive. Instead, in incomplete dominance, when two different alleles are combined the resulting expression is somewhere between the two.

Example:
Snapdragons show incomplete dominance. A red snapdragon (r) is crossed with a white flower (w). What are the possible genotypes of their offspring?
