Detailed explanation-1: -The similarities between codominance and incomplete dominance are listed below: Both codominance and incomplete dominance are dominant in nature. Mendelian inheritance laws cannot explain the patterns of inheritance. An allelic or intragenic gene interaction causes codominance and incomplete dominance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alleles are different versions of the same gene and thus have a different nucleotide sequence. Each gene codes for a trait. For example, there is a gene for eye color, dimples, skin color, and all the rest of our traits.
Detailed explanation-3: -The different types of genotypes are-homozygous recessive (pp), homozygous dominant (PP), and heterozygous (Pp). The homozygous dominant and the heterozygous genotypes show the same phenotypes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Codominance is observed when both alleles for a trait are equally expressed in an organism’s phenotype. In other words, for heterozygous organisms both the dominant and recessive allele will show independently in the phenotype.
