Incomplete Dominance vs Codominance

-- incomplete dominance      -- phenotype of a heterozygote is intermediate between the two homozygous parents      -- example: a red flower and a white flower make a pink flower

-- in incomplete dominance, neither allele is dominant

-- codominance      -- phenotypes of both homozygous parents are produced in heterozygous offspring      -- example:  a white cow and a black cow produce a black and white cow

-- in codominance, both alleles are equally dominant
