Incomplete dominance is when one allele is not completely dominant over the other (blend in), and codominance is when both alleles affect the phenotype(appearance)

Example of incomplete dominance: a red flower mates with a with flower and makes an pink offspring

Example of codominance: a brown cow mates with a with cow and the offspring being with and brown polkadots
