The partial expression of a recessive gene in a heterozygous pair is called

A) dominant inheritance.
B) recessive inheritance.
C) incomplete dominance.
D) partial dominance.

Incomplete Dominance

A genetic phenomenon in which neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that is a blend of both alleles.

Recessive Gene

A gene that expresses its traits only when paired with an identical gene, as opposed to a dominant gene's traits which can manifest with only one copy.

Heterozygous Pair

A genetic condition where an individual has two different alleles of a particular gene, one inherited from each parent.
