Homozygous
Opposite alleles/ mixed
Heterozygous
The heterozygous genotype produces a phenoytype that falls in between the dominant trait and the recessive trait/mixed trait
Incomplete dominance
condition in which both alleles of a gene are expressed in heterozygous offspring/both traits show up
Co-dominance
