Incomplete Dominance

Shadow · Answer 2

This inheritance is termed as Incomplete Dominance. When a red bird and blue bird mate the result is a purple offspring. This is because neither of the two colors are expressed. This type of a cross results in formation of a new colored offspring here it is purple. Incomplete dominance is a trait in which an intermediate offspring is formed because one allele is not completely expressed over the other paired allele. The resulting offspring is formed with characters that is a combination of both of their parents character.
