If the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate between that of the homozygotes this is called independent dominance. The correct answer is B. incomplete dominance.

Incomplete dominance refers to the phenomenon in which two true-breeding parents interbred to create an intermediate child (sometimes referred to as heterozygous). Alternate names for it include partial dominance and intermediate inheritance. In the case of partial dominance, the variations (alleles) are expressed in a reduced ratio rather than as dominant or recessive.

A new heterozygous phenotype is produced by imperfect dominance, often known as the dilution of the dominant allele relative to the recessive allele. For instance

  • the shape of hair
  • the size of hands
  • the pitch of human voice
  • pink colour of flowers(snapdragons and four o’clock flowers)
