Q

What is the key difference between incomplete dominance and codominance?

a) Incomplete dominance results in blending of traits, while codominance exhibits equal expression.

b) Incomplete dominance results in equal expression, while codominance exhibits blending.

c) Both result in identical phenotypes.

d) Neither exhibits a phenotypic difference.

A
