What is the difference between incomplete dominance and codominance? The dominant allele completely masks the recessive allele. In codominant traits both alleles are expressed, while in incompletely dominant traits the alleles mix to create a 3rd variation of the trait. In codominance the traits are mixed, in incomplete domiannce the traits are both expressed.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
