Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance pattern in which two alleles of a gene are not dominant over one another but rather form an intermediate phenotype, which is a blending of both parental phenotypes. It is a non-mendelian inheritance i.e. does not conform to Mendel's inheritance principles.

An example of incomplete dominance is that of the alleles of a flower color gene in four o'clock plant. The alleles for white (W) and red (R) are incompletely dominant over one another, hence, they form an intermediate PINK phenotype (RW).

google my dude. if it doesn't show up ask me.

cell regulation is conducted by special proteins.
