Law of Incomplete Dominance |
Incomplete Dominance Definition. Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the organism's resulting physical appearance shows a blending of both alleles. It is also called semi-dominance or partial dominance. |

| Law of Dominance | Mendel's Law of Dominance can also be simply stated as: “In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype.” |
| Law of Segregation | Law of Segregation, states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization |
| Law of Independent Assortment | Law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another |
| Law of Sex-Linked Traits | Sex-linked traits originate from genes found on sex chromosomes. |
