An F1 that shows both parental phenotypes together, fully expressed side by side, illustrates co-dominance, distinct from incomplete dominance.

Working

In a monohybrid cross, several inheritance patterns are possible depending on how the two alleles interact. Under the simple Law of Dominance, the F1 resembles only ONE parent (the dominant one), fully masking the recessive trait. Under Incomplete dominance, the F1 shows a phenotype that BLENDS the two parental traits into a new intermediate form (e.g. red x white flower giving pink), resembling neither parent exactly. Under Co-dominance, however, the F1 expresses BOTH parental phenotypes simultaneously and distinctly, without blending -- classic examples are the human AB blood group (both A and …
