Answer:

Proteins are the biomolecule present inside the the living organisms. Proteins are made of the polymers of the amino acids that are linked together by peptide bond.

Proteins are biologically active in its 3D conformation and shape. The 3D shape of the protein is achieved by the proper sequence of the amino acids and its folding. Any change in 3D structure of the protein will result in the loss of biological activity of the protein because of the alteration in the amino acid sequence. The 3D shape of proteins is important as it helps the enzymes to work properly to carry out chemical reactions of the body.

A condition when the heterozygous allele do not completely expressed itself over the recessive allele is called Incomplete dominance.
