Incomplete dominance and co-dominance

They both are equal in dominance (neither are recessive). For example, incomplete dominance is when two genes are equally expressed at once, such as if you bred a red snapdragon and a white snapdragon you would end up with a pink snapdragon because both the red and white genes are dominant. In codominance instead of the genes blending together (Red and white blending into pink) they are equally dominant but retain their original characteristics. For example if a white cow and red bull mated and had a roan cow instead of being one color it would have brown and red spots. Incomplete dominance and codominance are alike in those ways by having two different both equally dominant genes present at one moment

Incomplete dominance is when the phenotype of the two alleles blend.

Co-dominance is when an organism that has both alleles of a gene displays both phenotypes at the same time.

Incomplete dominance is when one allele is not completely dominant over the other. Codominance is when both alleles contribute to the phentotype

What is it called when the presence of two different alleles result in an intermediate phenotype?

It is called codominance or incomplete dominance.


If a trait has three different phenotypes the trait is inherited by?

codominance or incomplete dominance


Dominance that occurs whenever the hybrid genotype produces a new intermediate phenotype?

When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.


How incomplete dominance and codominance improve the qualities of the plants and animal breeds?

The incomplete dominance and codominance involve more than one gene for a particular phenotype, hence the quality of the breed remains static in plants as well as in animals.


What is the interaction of two alleles in which both alleles can be observed in a phenotype?

Incomplete dominance


If an offspring shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes of the parents what is this type of inheritance?

Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.
