When one allele is not dominant over the other, resulting in both traits expressed in a heterozygous individual.....
Codominance
Incomplete Dominance

Answer 1

When one allele is not dominant over the other, resulting in both traits being expressed in a heterozygous individual, this phenomenon is known as **Codominance**. In codominance, both alleles contribute equally and visibly to the phenotype. A classic example of this is seen in blood types, where both A and B alleles are expressed in an AB blood type.

On the other hand, **Incomplete Dominance** refers to a situation where the phenotype of the heterozygous individual is an intermediate blend of the two alleles. An example of incomplete dominance is the flower color in snapdragons, where crossing red and white flowers results in pink flowers.

So, the correct answer to your question is **Codominance**.
