Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Answer

Assertion is true but reason is false

Explanation:

Such alleles which are able to express themselves in the presence of each other are called codominant. They do not show dominant recessive relationship and are able to express themselves independently when present together. For example blood group A and B shows codominance as when present together. They show AB blood group. ln incomplete dominance, one of the alleles is more pronounced for example in Mirabilis jalapa when red (dominant) and white (recessive) flowers crossed the progeny is pink. Therefore, codominance is different from incomplete dominance.
