Answer 1

The scenario you described, where a black bat and a white bat produce silver offspring, is an example of **incomplete dominance**. In incomplete dominance, the phenotype of the offspring is a blend of the parental traits, resulting in a new phenotype (in this case, silver) that is distinct from both parents.
