Short Answer TypeDominance: is the condition when in a pair of dissimilar factors or alleles, one dominates the other that is one allele expresses itself in the presence or absence of the other allele. For example, the allele for tall trait T is dominant over the trait for dwarfness t.
Co-dominance: Co-dominance is the phenomenon in which both the alleles of a contrasting character are expressed in heterozygous condition. Both the alleles of a gene are equally dominant. ABO blood group system is an example of co-dominance.
Incomplete dominance: Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in which one allele shows incomplete dominance over the other member of the allelic pair for a character. For example, a monohybrid cross between the plants having red flowers and white flowers in Antirrhinum species will result in all pink flower plants in F1generation.
