What is the Difference Between Co-Dominance and Incomplete Dominance

Question

What is the difference between co-dominance and incomplete dominance?
A) In co-dominance, neither allele produces sufficient protein. In incomplete dominance, both alleles make sufficient protein.
B) In co-dominance, both alleles produce sufficient protein. In incomplete dominance, neither allele makes sufficient protein.
C) In co-dominance, the phenotype lies between the phenotypes of the parent alleles. For incomplete dominance, the phenotype of both alleles is seen.
D) In co-dominance, the phenotype reflects both alleles. For incomplete dominance, the phenotype lies between the phenotypes of the parent alleles.

Accepted Answer

Co-dominance occurs when both alleles contribute to the phenotype, resulting in a phenotype that reflects both alleles. In incomplete dominance, neither allele is dominant and the phenotype lies between the phenotypes of the two parent alleles, resulting in a blended appearance.
