In a scenario involving two traits with incomplete dominance, each trait can result in three possible phenotypes (for example, AA, Aa, aa for the first trait and BB, Bb, bb for the second trait). When considering two traits, the combination of these phenotypes can result in 3 x 3 = 9 different phenotypic outcomes.
