What do you call the non-Mendelian inheritance pattern that states that neither trait is dominant and the traits appear to blend together?

• Codominance

• Incomplete dominance

• Polygenic traits

In roses, petal color can be white, red, or pink. What would be the expected genotypes and phenotypes if a red rose was crossed with a pink rose? What type of inheritance pattern is this?
