Detailed explanation-1: -Incomplete dominance is a form of Gene interaction in which both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate or different phenotype. It is also known as partial dominance. For eg., in roses, the allele for red colour is dominant over the allele for white colour.

Detailed explanation-2: -Incomplete dominance results in heterozygotes with intermediate phenotypes, as in the case of snapdragons when parents with red flowers and white flowers are crossed resulting in heterozygous offspring with pink flowers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Incomplete dominance is when the phenotypes of the two parents blend together to create a new phenotype for their offspring. An example is a white flower and a red flower producing pink flowers. Codominance is when the two parent phenotypes are expressed together in the offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Indeed, “codominance” is the specific term for a system in which an allele from each homozygote parent combines in the offspring, and the offspring simultaneously demonstrates both phenotypes. An example of codominance occurs in the human ABO blood group system.
