Solution

Incomplete Dominance Co-dominance

In incomplete dominance, neither of the alleles is completely dominant to another allele rather combine and produce a new trait.

In co-dominance, both the alleles in a heterozygote are dominant and the traits are equally expressed (joint expression).

New phenotype is formed due to character blending (not alleles).

No formation of new phenotype rather both dominant traits are expressed conjointly.

Example: Pink flowers of Mirabilis Jalapa. Example: Red and white flowers of camellia.
