homologous chromosomes

beak color in a finch species is controlled by a single gene. you mate a finch homozygous for orange (pigmented) beak with a finch homozygous for ivory (unpigmented) beak and get numerous offspring, all of which have a light ivory-orange beak. this pattern of color expression is most likely to be an example of

incomplete dominance
