In this Three class lesson I learned the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance. Codominance is when two dominant traits are both present in offspring instead of one overriding the other. Because they are both dominant, they both appear. The reverse of this is incomplete dominance, when you have two dominant traits but instead of both being present, they combine. This is how flowers of the same species can have multiple color variations. This difference is very prevalent in nature and is an essential piece to fully understanding genetics.
