Hybrid
A dominant trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present.

Heterozygous.
Incomplete dominance is a trait that can result when an organism receives genes for two different forms of the same trait. In this case, neither form of the trait is fully expressed, leading to a blending of the two forms.
recessive
An inherited trait is typically determined by multiple genes working together. The exact number of genes involved can vary depending on the trait. In many cases, dozens to hundreds of genes may contribute to a single inherited trait.
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
Mendel found that certain forms of genes were dominant to other forms of genes. This means that when an organism has two different forms of a gene, one form will be expressed over the other in determining the trait it controls.
If the two different genes include one dominant allele and one recessive allele, which is the heterozygous genotype, the dominant phenotype is expressed. For example, if R represents the red flower allele and r represents the white flower allele, the flowers would be red. If the trait is governed by incomplete dominance, then the heterozygous genotype (Rr) will produce an intermediate phenotype, such as pink.
