Incomplete dominance is considered an exception to Mendel's principles of inheritance because it results in a blending of traits, rather than the dominant trait completely masking the recessive trait as seen in Mendelian genetics. This leads to a unique inheritance pattern where neither allele is fully dominant, breaking the traditional rules of dominant and recessive traits established by Mendel.
Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.
This type of inheritance is known as incomplete dominance, where the heterozygous offspring show a blend of characteristics from both parents rather than expressing a dominant trait. In this case, the erminette color results from a mix of black and white feathers due to incomplete dominance of black over white.
Incomplete dominance and co-dominance differ from typical Mendelian crosses in that they involve more complex inheritance patterns. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes, while in co-dominance, both alleles are expressed fully in the heterozygous individual. This contrasts with typical Mendelian crosses where one allele is dominant and masks the expression of the other recessive allele.
Eye color inheritance is an example of incomplete dominance, where a mix of alleles from both parents determines the final eye color.
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance where one allele for a trait is not dominant over anther allele. Because of this, a combined or "mixed" phenotype results. For example, if a red flower is crossed with a white flower, and the offspring is pink, this is considered incomplete dominance.
Epigenetics, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, multiple alleles, polygenic traits, and gene linkage are examples of non-Mendelian principles that extend beyond classical Mendelian genetics. These factors can affect inheritance patterns and phenotypes in ways that do not strictly adhere to Mendel's laws of inheritance.

Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
No, hair color is typically determined by multiple genes and can exhibit various inheritance patterns, such as incomplete dominance, codominance, or polygenic inheritance. Incomplete dominance refers to a situation where neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in an intermediate phenotype.
