Answer:

Incomplete Dominance: In this case, the 3rd different phenotype is created by the heterozygous(CwCr) (for example, pink)

Co-Dominance: the heterozygous is observed to show both the homozygous conditions (for example the blood type iAiB shows both A and B carbohydrates)

Multiple alleles: This is when a gene has over 2 alleles (i.e. blood has ia ib i)

Polygenic inheritance: This is when over two different gene leads to the expression of a trait.

Pleiotropy: This is the when a gene shows several effects on an organism.

Epistasis: This is when more than one gene have strong control on the expression of a trait (for example, E/e allele creates pigments)

Sex-linkage: This refers to the genes found in sex chromosomes

Gene Linkage: These are the genes situated in a similar chromosome.
