Incomplete dominance
Incomplete dominance occurs when the heterozygous genotype produces a phenotype that is a blend of the two alleles. This results in an intermediate phenotype that is distinct from the phenotypes of both homozygous genotypes.
When both alleles contribute to the phenotype of a heterozygous the alleles are said to show the dominate alleles and sometimes the recessive but mostly the dominate alleles
Both alleles are expressed in offspring when neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in co-dominance. This means that both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the offspring's phenotype.
Incomplete Dominance
It is called codominance or incomplete dominance.
Both alleles are expressed in offspring when neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in co-dominance. This means that both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the offspring's phenotype.
Codominance is the interaction of two alleles where both alleles are equally expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a mixed or blended phenotype. This means that the traits controlled by each allele are both visible in the individual.
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.

When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.
