1. The parents are both heterozygous for dwarfism. 2. All offspring will have a 50% chance of inheriting the dominant dwarfism gene from either parent. 3. Therefore, half of the offspring will have dwarfism and be heterozygous, while the other half will have normal height and be heterozygous.

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

6. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Lesson Objectives:
1. Explain incomplete dominance
pattern of inheritance
2. Illustrate by means of Punnett
square a cross involving incomplete
dominance pattern of inheritance

7. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
UNLOCKING OF TERMS
P Generation – Parent generation
F1 – First filial generation
F2 – Second filial generation
Gene - the basic unit capable of transmitting
characteristics from one generation to the
next
Allele - Alternative version of a gene

8. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
UNLOCKING OF TERMS
Dominant Allele – presence determines the
phenotype
Recessive Allele – allele whose phenotypic effect
is not observed in a heterozygote
Phenotype – the physical and physiological traits
of an organism
Genotype – genetic make up of an organism
Homozygous – containing two identical alleles
for a gene

9. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
UNLOCKING OF TERMS
Homozygous – containing two identical alleles
for a gene
Heterozygous - containing two different alleles
for a gene
Punnett Square – a diagram used in the study of
inheritance to show the predicted results of
random fertilization in genetic crosses.

In Four o’clock plants, R is the allele for red color
and W is the allele for white color. The
intermediate color (pink) is controlled by RW.
• Read the given problem.
• Using a Punnett square, show the possible
outcome of a cross between
a. Two pink flowered four o’clock plants
b. Red and pink flowered four o’clock plants

Guide Questions:
How many types of gametes will each parent produce
in problem A? In problem B?
What is the phenotype of a heterozygous four
o’clock flower?
What are the possible phenotypes of the offspring
from the parental cross in problem A? In problem B?
What are the possible genotypes of the offspring
from the parental cross in problem A? In problem B?

1.How many types of
gametes will each
parent produce in
problem A? In
problem B?
2.What is the
phenotype of a
heterozygous four
o’clock flower?

16. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Let’s check it …
Q1. Problem A: Two types of gametes for each
parent, since their genotypes are RW & RW
Problem B: One parent will have one type of
gamete and the other two types of gametes,
since their genotypes are RR & RW.
Q2. Pink flowers

from the parental cross in
problem A? In problem B?

Q4. Problem A: RR, RW, WW
Problem B: RR, RW

• Incomplete Dominance
–a pattern of inheritance in which one
allele for a specific trait is not
completely dominant over the other
allele.
–results in a third phenotype,
intermediate between 2
homozygotes.

20. • If you are a flower farmer who supplies
to flower shops in Tagum City, how will
you use your knowledge on incomplete
dominance to increase your income?

KNOWLEDGE
1. What is the phenotype of a heterozygous four o’clock
flower?

2. What cross would produce most pink-flowered four
o’clock plants? Show a Punnett square to support your
answer?

3. You are wavy-haired woman. How could you have
a greater chance of having a straight-haired child?
Explain your answer and use a Punnett square to
support it?

Let’s extend…
Using the Punnet Square, come up with the
Phenotype and Genotype in Incomplete
Dominance for the given scenarios:
1. Coat color in mice is incompletely
dominant. Yellow and white-colored mice
are homozygous, while cream-colored mice
are heterozygous. If two cream-colored
mice mate, what phenotypic ratio can we
expect of their offspring? Show the Punnett
Square.

2. In radishes, red and white are pure-
breeding colors, while hybrids are purple.
If a red radish is crossed with a white
radish, what will be the phenotype of the F2
generation (assuming the F1
generation
self-pollinates)? Show the Punnett Square.

Let’s try…
Achondroplasia (dwarfism) is caused by a
dominant gene. A woman and a man both
with dwarfism marry. If homozygous
achondroplasia results in death of
embryos, summarize the genotypes and
the phenotypes of all potential live birth
offspring?
