Question
With the help of an example differentiate between incomplete dominance and co-dominance.
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. |
