Answer to Problem 1BGLA

The name of the term that describes the phrase “Two different alleles of a gene are both expressed with no blending in a heterozygous individual” is incomplete dominance.

Explanation of Solution

Incomplete dominance refers to the form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele cannot be expressed over its paired allele, so that the resulting trait is neither dominant nor recessive. This results the expression of third phenotype, which is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles.
