Describing Incomplete Dominant and giving an example

Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other allele, this results in a combined phenotype.

Ex. Incomplete dominance can happen in flowers such as snap dragons where a red flower plant and a white flower plant have an offspring that is neither red nor white but is a mix so in this case it would be pink. It does not support the blending theory as it does not get its color from the dominant plant in this case but from both.
