Difference between Codominance and Incomplete dominance
Difference between Codominance and Incomplete dominance are in tabular form below –
No. |
Codominance |
Incomplete dominance |
Definition |
||
1. | In a heterozygous organism, a condition where both alleles are expressed, then it is known as Codominance. | When the phenotype intermediate between those of the parents in heterozygous individual, then it is known as Incomplete dominance. |
Causes |
||
2. | In the codominance, it does not causes formation of new phenotype. | In the Incomplete codominance, it causes formation of new phenotype. |
Allele effect |
||
3. | In the codominance, both alleles can effect equally. | In the Incomplete dominance, only one allele can effect. |
Parents |
||
4. | In the codominance, parent does not resemble to the F1 generation. | In the incomplete dominance, parents resemble to the F1 generation. |
Parent allele |
||
5. | In the codominance, both parental phenotypes will mix-up. | In the incomplete dominance, both parental phenotypes will not mix-up. |
Examples |
||
6. | Examples of codominance are the inheritance of ABO blood group and cow’s roan character. | Examples of Incomplete dominance are the inheritance of height, mirabilis Jalapa, eye color, weight and pink snapdragon. |
