What is the term used to describe the condition where some flowers express a combined phenotype due to being heterozygous for a pigment-producing allele?

Ectoderm
Incomplete Dominance
Monera
Phenotype

The correct answer is: Incomplete Dominance

Incomplete dominance is the term used to describe the condition where some flowers express a combined phenotype due to being heterozygous for a pigment-producing allele. In incomplete dominance, neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a unique phenotype that is a blend of the two parental phenotypes. The other options are not related to the described phenomenon. Ectoderm is one of the germ layers in embryonic development, Monera is a biological kingdom that includes bacteria, and Phenotype refers to the physical characteristics of an organism.
