A female animal with genotype A/a B/b is crossed with a double recessive male (a/a b/b). Their progeny include 442 A/a B/b, 458 a/a b/b, 46 A/a b/b and 54 a/a B/b. This problem is explained.

    Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of a heterozygote is an intermediate between the two homozygotes. Another definition is when the dominant allele does not completely mask the recessive allele.

    So, this is a special case, since you have two traits -- one sex-linked, one autosomal. You can really treat these as two seperate sets of inheritance since there is no linkage between the genes themselves.
