How is co-dominance different from incomplete dominance
Answer Posted / manmeet
co dominance - both the alleles being considered are able to produce their effect in the morphology of the organism and none is able to hide the effect of the other. e.g.. AB blood group in humans
incomplete dominance - both the alleles are able to produce their effects but the effect of one allele is more pronounced than the other. e.g. pink flower color in antirrhinum majus produced from the allele for red color and the allele for white color.

Why would farmers, doctors, and manufacturers be interested in Genetic Engineering?
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene.
