Explain the difference between intermediate inheritance and codominance?

Answer 1

In codominance, neither phenotype is recessive. Instead, the heterozygous individual expresses bothphenotypes. Intermediate inheritance is when neither allele is dominant to another, but a mixture is produced in the 2 alleles present. A mixed phenotype is given that is between the two parents phenotype .e.g Red flowers (RR) crossed with white flowers (WW) produces pink flowers (RW).

Answer 2

Intermediate inheritance refers to a situation in genetics where the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes, such as in the case of flower color in snapdragons. Codominance, on the other hand, is a situation where both alleles of a gene are expressed fully in the heterozygous individual, resulting in a phenotype that shows traits of both alleles simultaneously, like in the case of human blood types.
