    Incomplete dominance is shown by

    A)  primrose      

    B)  Mirabilis

    C)  Helianthus     

    D)  China rose

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

It simply means that two genes or allelomorphic pair are not related as dominant or recessive, but each of them expresses itself partially.
