Phenotypes and genotypes play crucial roles in understanding incomplete dominance and co-dominance. In incomplete dominance, alleles blend to produce a new phenotype, while in co-dominance, both alleles are expressed equally. Examples and problems illustrate these concepts further, aiding in genetic
