_________is the type of inheritance when there is a blending of the alleles in the phenotype?
The answer is, of course, "incomplete dominance." Now, do you know why that is true? If interested, here's what I understand about the condition: the dominant gene actually synthesis a substance that interacts with the co-recessive gene; thus, holding that gene turned off, not permitting it to synthesize protein. In the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant gene fails to produce enough of the blocking substance in order to hold its recessive counterpart turned off. The recessive gene is then able to create a small amount of protein. It is the combination of the protein generated by the dominate gene mixed with the small amount of protein caused by the slightly active recessive gene that results in a incomplete phenotype expression of the dominate gene. At least that's my take on this question of incomplete dominance.
