Incomplete dominance
In incomplete dominance, heterozygous offspring show an intermediate (blended) phenotype — e.g., red-flowered × white-flowered snapdragons produce pink offspring. Codominance shows both parental traits simultaneously, Mendelian (simple dominant–recessive) does not produce a blend, and polygenic inheritance involves many genes contributing to a continuous trait.
