What is the expression pattern of dominant and recessive alleles?

• Dominant alleles are expressed when present, while recessive alleles are only expressed when there are no dominant alleles.

• Dominant alleles are only expressed when there are no recessive alleles, while recessive alleles are always expressed.

• Dominant alleles are always expressed, while recessive alleles are only expressed when present.

• Dominant alleles and recessive alleles are always expressed together.

Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele is completely dominant, resulting in a blending of ___ traits.
