Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between the phenotypes of the homozygotes. In this case, an individual with one allele for obesity and another for thinness who is of average weight exemplifies incomplete dominance, as the phenotype (average weight) is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes (obesity and thinness).
