A heterozygote expresses the traits of both alleles in the phenotypic traits. These traits affect the physical appearance of an organism.
Codominance is when an organism has two different dominant alleles, so both of them are expressed.When an organism has two identical dominant alleles, it is homozygous.
This individual will show a mixture of these two traits
When the phenotypes of two alleles blend together, it is referred to as incomplete dominance. In this genetic scenario, neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that is a mixture of both traits. For example, when a red flower is crossed with a white flower, the offspring may exhibit a pink 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.
When each allele codes for a different phenotype, it illustrates the concept of codominance or incomplete dominance in genetics. In codominance, both alleles express their traits simultaneously, resulting in a phenotype that displays characteristics of both alleles, such as in blood type AB. In incomplete dominance, the phenotype is a blend of the two alleles, resulting in a third, intermediate phenotype, like red and white flowers producing pink offspring. This genetic interaction highlights the complexity of inheritance and phenotypic expression.

When two dominant alleles blend to form an intermediate phenotype, the resulting offspring will exhibit a combination of traits from both alleles. This is known as incomplete dominance, where neither allele is completely dominant over the other, leading to a unique and blended phenotype.
When one allele is not dominant over the other, both alleles contribute to the phenotype in a form of incomplete dominance or codominance. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous individual displays a phenotype that is a blend of the two alleles. In codominance, both alleles are expressed independently, resulting in a phenotype that shows traits from both alleles.

A trait that exhibits incomplete dominance, is one in which the heterozygous offspring will have a phenotype that is a blend between the two parent organisms. An example of this is when a homozygous red sweet pea flower crossed with a homozygous white sweet pea flower, their offspring will be heterozygous and have the pink phenotype, rather than either red or white. So, the homozygous red flower will be red, the homozygous white flower will be white, and the heterozygous flower will be pink. So there are three possible phenotypes in incomplete dominance. There are also no dominant or recessives genotypes.
When two alleles are codominant, that means that they are expressed simultaneously in different parts. For example, if a red and white flower were crossed, and the resulting flower had some red petals and some white petals that would be codominance. Another example is when animals have stripes and spots. Not to be confused in incomplete dominance, which is when two alleles are expressed simultaneously in the same part of the organism (in the flower example all the petals would be pink).
When both alleles contribute to the phenotype in a way that is not exactly like either parent, this is known as incomplete dominance. In this genetic scenario, the resulting phenotype is a blend of the traits from both alleles, producing an intermediate appearance. For example, crossing red and white flowers may result in pink flowers, demonstrating this blending effect. This contrasts with complete dominance, where one allele completely masks the effect of the other.
In intermediate inheritance, two different alleles at a single gene locus interact to produce a phenotype that is a blend of the two alleles. This results in a phenotype that falls between the dominant and recessive traits, rather than showing a clear dominant-recessive relationship. Both alleles contribute to the final phenotype in a co-dominant or blending manner.
Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that is a blend of both traits. For example, if one allele represents red flowers and the other represents white flowers, the offspring may exhibit pink flowers. In this case, both alleles contribute to the phenotype without one overshadowing the other.
