What term describes the inheritance of a trait which in the heterozygote has an intermediate expression between either allele?

Answer:

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is an exception to Mendel's pattern of inheritance as he described in his LAW of DOMINANCE, that in an heterozygous state, an allele will mask the expression of its variant pair in a gene. Incomplete dominance has shown that an allele might not be completely dominant over its pair but instead form a hybrid that possesses an intermediate phenotype that is the combination of both parental phenotypes.

An example is when Mendel crossed peas that produced red flowers (RR) will peas that produced white flowers (rr). The red flower allele (R) did not show complete dominance over the white flower allele, instead a heterozygote F1 offspring (Rr) with pink flowers was produced. The pink color was an intermediate phenotype of both white and red.

How does your body become bigger​
soldi70 [24.7K]
Muscle hypertrophy occurs when the fibers of the muscles sustain damage or injury. The body repairs damaged fibers by fusing them, which increases the mass and size of the muscles. Certain hormones, including testosterone, human growth hormone, and insulin growth factor, also play a role in muscle growth and repair.

sertanlavr [38]
As the individual body size of an organism increases, the population density for this organism in a given habitat tends to decrease.

  <span>It has been shown that an inverse relationship between the size of an animal and its local abundance exist. Animals with larger body size have higher energetic requirements, resource exploitation, and susceptibility to predation and thus the competition is bigger. Yet, the density–body size relation depends on the physical complexity of the habitat and population of a species.</span>

Water can "defy gravity" and climb uphill? True or false. Why or why not
harina [27]
The answer is actually <u>true</u><u>.</u>

The starting point of all rivers is higher than their end point. However, under the right conditions, small amounts of water can be drawn upwards, against the tug of gravity, through a phenomenon known as "capillary action". For this to occur, however, the water must be confined into a small flow space.

Hope this helps!  If it does, would you mind marking my answer as Brainliest? Thanks :D
