Corn snakes have variation in the amount of pigment, called melanin, which is deposited in their scales. Wild type snakes are homozygous for the allele that deposits a lot of melanin. Snakes with two copies of the recessive allele "Amel" have very pale skins. When a true-breeding line of wild type snakes is crossed with a true-breeding line of "Amel" snakes, members of the F1 generation are all intermediate in scale color between the parental types. This type of inheritance is most likely an example of:_______

In incomplete dominance when two different alleles come together in the offspring then neither of the alleles is able to show its complete dominance in the phenotype which results in a different intermediate phenotype in which both allele character is mixed.

The example of incomplete dominance can be seen in Mirabilis Jalapa plants. When plant with white color flower crossed with red color flower it produce plant with pink color flower which shows the intermediate color formed by mixing red and white color.

Therefore here also the members of the F1 generation are all intermediate in scale color between the parental types which is an example of incomplete dominance.
