B)incomplete dominance
C)sex-linked inheritance
D)phenotypic dominance
E)genotypic dominance

Incomplete dominance is the type of inheritance where neither allele is dominant, so the phenotype of the heterozygote is an intermediate blend between the two homozygotes. This can be seen in traits such as flower color in snapdragons, where red and white homozygotes produce pink heterozygotes. Multiple-allele inheritance involves having more than two alleles for a given gene, sex-linked inheritance involves genes that are located on the sex chromosomes and display different inheritance patterns in males and females, phenotypic dominance refers to the physical expression of a trait rather than the dominance of an allele, and genotypic dominance refers to the dominance of one allele over another at the genetic level but not necessarily at the phenotypic level.
