How are Incomplete Dominance and Co Dominance different than a normal Mendelian cross?

• There is no difference
• The heterozygous genotype has a unique phenotype

• codominance
• dominance
• incomplete dominance

In some carnations, flower color exhibits codominance.  Identify the correct genotypes for red, white, and speckled carnations.

• Red = RR, white = rr, speckled = Rr
• Red = RR, white = WW, speckled = rw
• Red = RR, white = ww, Speckled = Rw
• Red = RR, white = WW, speckled = RW
