What do you call the non-Mendelian inheritance pattern that states that neither trait is dominant and the traits appear to blend together?

• Codominance
• Incomplete dominance
• Polygenic traits

In butterfly bushes, dark purple and pink parents will produce offspring with lavender flowers. This is a result of 

• codominance
• incomplete dominance
• complete dominance
• recessive dominance
