Solution

Incomplete Dominance Co-Dominance
It is the condition when one allele of a gene is not completely dominant over the other allele and results in the hetero- zygotes having phenotype different from the dominant and recessive homozygotes. The phenomenon where heterozygotes have features of both the homozygotes i.e., an alle is neither dominant nor recessive to the other.
Eg: Cross between red-flowered (RR) and white flowered (rr) plants results in pink flowered plants (Rr). Eg: Cross between spotted lentils and dotted lentils produce heterozygotes that are both spotted and dotted.
