Example sentences:

1. In intermediate inheritance, the traits of an individual are influenced by the interaction of multiple genes inherited from both parents.
2. The color of a flower in intermediate inheritance may be a blend of the colors of its parent flowers.
3. With intermediate inheritance, it becomes challenging to predict the exact phenotype based solely on the genotype.
