How are incomplete dominance and codominance alike? How are they different?

Groups:

(a) Incomplete Dominance

,

(b) Codominance

,

(c) Similarities

• Can lead to variations in phenotypes

• Both alleles are independently expressed

• Non-Mendelian inheritance patterns

• Both alleles contribute equally to the phenotype

• Pink flowers from red and white parents

• Create a third phenotype

• Both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype

• Phenotype is a mix of the two parental phenotypes

• Involves the expression of multiple alleles

• Result in a blending of traits

• Both alleles are visible in the offspring

• Both alleles are dominant and expressed together

• Both alleles are present in the genotype
