Discrete traits are clearly defined and can be present or absent, influenced by multiple genes. Incomplete dominance results in a phenotype that is a blend of both alleles, leading to an intermediate expression in heterozygous individuals. Examples include traits like albinism and cystic fibrosis.

![a trait is considered: discrete when:
1-The traits are intermediate between the recessive and dominant cases
2- the traits are obviously either there or not there [what I guess the answer is]
3- the traits are variable in the population
4- the traits are a result of multiple genes.
when the allele of a trait is incompletely dominant:
1- the dominant trait masks the recessive trait
2- the recessive trait masks the dominant trait
3- the heterozygous individial is the same as the dominant.
4- the heterozygous individual is intermediate between the recessive and the dominant
5- the heterozygous individual expresses both traits.
Solution
A trait is considered discrete when the traits are either there or not there, eg Albinism, cystic
fibrosis, Huntingtons disease, -option 2.
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance where one allele for a specific trait
is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the
expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both the alleles. Option 4-the
heterozygous individual is intermediate between the recessive and the dominant](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/atraitisconsidereddiscretewhen1-thetraitsareintermediat-230707211339-e82dd1af/85/a-trait-is-considered-discrete-when-1-The-traits-are-intermediat-pdf-1-320.jpg)
