Incomplete dominance
When both the alleles are expressed, it is called co-dominance or mixed dominance.
Both alleles are expressed in offspring when neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in co-dominance. This means that both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the offspring's phenotype.
Basically, it states there are two forms of a gene called alleles, heterozygous in this case, and one allele masks the expression of the other allele. This is simplified, as it can get complex with co-dominance and partial dominance.
Either Co-dominance, where different parts of the organism display the different alleles (i.e. red and white flowers), or a combination of the two alleles (i.e. red and white alleles make pink flowers)
This is Mendel's principle of dominance. Dominant alleles will always mask the presence of recessive alleles in a heterozygous genotype.
The Principle of Dominance states that some alleles are dominant and some alleles are recessive. The dominant trait dominates or presents the expression of the recessive trait. Thus, for round seed: (capital) R - round (small) r - wrinkled RR - pure round Rr - hybrid round rr - pure wrinkled
Incomplete dominance
When both the alleles are expressed, it is called co-dominance or mixed dominance.
This principle is called the principle of dominance. It explains that in a pair of alleles, the dominant allele will be expressed over the recessive allele. So, the dominant factor will prevent the recessive factor from being expressed in the phenotype.
Both alleles are expressed in offspring when neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in co-dominance. This means that both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the offspring's phenotype.

The inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by individual units known as genes. They are passed from parent to offspring.In cases in which two or more alleles of the gene for a single trait exist, some forms of the gene may be dominant or recessive.In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has two copies of each gene- one from each parent. These are segregated from each other when gametes are formed.The alleles for different genes usually segregate independently of one another.
the dominant allele is expressed when two (assuming you mean dominant and recessive) alleles are present. however, if the alleles are codominant they are both expressed.
Either Co-dominance, where different parts of the organism display the different alleles (i.e. red and white flowers), or a combination of the two alleles (i.e. red and white alleles make pink flowers)
