Incomplete dominance occurs when there is more than one dominant gene, but the expression of both genes creates a blending of traits.

Example: [tex]$RR$[/tex] = red flowers, [tex]$WW =$[/tex] white flowers, but [tex]$RW =$[/tex] pink flowers.

Come up with three traits and the possible inherited phenotypes. Here's an example:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Trait & Phenotype 1 & Phenotype 2 & Phenotype 3 & Phenotype 4 \\
\hline
\begin{tabular}{l}
Seed Color \\
(simple/dominant \\
recessive)
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l}
Yy and [tex]$YY$[/tex] \\
(yellow seeds)
\end{tabular} & yy (green seeds) & N/A & N/A \\
\hline
\begin{tabular}{l}
Flower Color \\
(co-dominance)
\end{tabular} & [tex]$I^R I^R$[/tex] and [tex]$I^{R_1}=$[/tex] red flowers & \begin{tabular}{l}
[tex]$I _{ I } w$[/tex] and [tex]$I w _{ I }=$[/tex] white \\
flowers
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l}
[tex]$I _1 I ^R=$[/tex] red/white \\
speckled
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l}
II = yellow \\
flowers
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
\begin{tabular}{l}
Pod Shape \\
(incomplete dominance)
\end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{l}
[tex]$PP =$[/tex] long, balloon-shaped \\
pods
\end{tabular} & [tex]$FF =$[/tex] flat, narrow pods & [tex]$PF =$[/tex] long, flat pods & N/A \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

To get started, think about the traits your species needs to help it survive in its environment. Come up with variations of these traits. You can include neutral traits (variations that won't affect the organism's survival) and beneficial traits (variations that would give the organism a better chance for survival). You can even include harmful genes or genes that could cause genetic diseases. Fill in the chart with the traits you chose and the possible inherited phenotypes.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
Trait & Phenotype 1 & Phenotype 2 & Phenotype 3 \\
