C) independent assortment
D) sex linkage

Question

In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote displays a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygotes. This means that neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a blend of traits. For example, in a cross between a red-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant, the F1 generation may have pink flowers, which is an intermediate phenotype between the two homozygotes.
