Incomplete Dominance
Each version of a gene is called an allele. Alleles can have slight variations in their DNA sequence, resulting in different traits or characteristics in an organism. Organisms typically have two alleles for each gene, one inherited from each parent.
Allele
Different forms of a gene are called alleles. Genes are the ones that influence the traits that will be inherited in the DNA.
the alternative form of a gene is called an "allele."
This is generally the definition of an allele. An allele is an "alternate form of a gene". For each gene there may be many alleles. For example (simplistically) the gene which makes the pigment in your eyes (ie which gives you your eye colour) has a brown, green and blue allele. On each of the two chromosomes (one from your mother and one from your father) you can have either the same allele (homozygous) or a different allele (heterozygous). In the case of a heterozygous gene the dominate allele is expressed. In some cases (co-dominance) both alleles are expressed.
When each allele has its own degree of influence it is known as incomplete dominance.

incomplete dominance
When each allele has its own degree of influence on the phenotype, it is known as incomplete dominance. In this case, neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a blended or intermediate phenotype.

The answer is an allele.
These are called alleles.

Each gene has two alleles. When an allele is dominant, it will express the phenotype of that allele. Recessive alleles are only expressed when there are two copies of that allele. Edited answer: Only those genes are called dominant which show their phenotypic expression in an individual.
