Answer:

-Incomplete dominance is a blending of two phenotypes while co-dominance is a simultaneous expression of both phenotypes.

-Incomplete dominance is when the phenotypes of the two parents blend together to create a new phenotype for their offspring.

---> example: white flower and a red flower producing pink flowers.

-Codominance is when the two parent phenotypes are expressed together in the offspring.

---> example: white flower and red flower producing offspring with red and white patches.
