Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between incomplete dominance and co-dominance?
| 1. | Incomplete dominance results in progeny not resembling either of the parents, whereas co-dominance results in progeny resembling both parents. |
| 2. | Incomplete dominance involves multiple alleles, while co-dominance does not. |
| 3. | Co-dominance occurs in phenotypes only, while incomplete dominance occurs in genotypes. |
| 4. | Incomplete dominance is a type of sex-linked inheritance, whereas co-dominance occurs in autosomes. |

What does the principle of segregation in genetics state?
| 1. | Alleles separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. |
| 2. | Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. |
| 3. | Each allele in a pair segregates into a different sex chromosome. |
| 4. | Phenotypes segregate during gamete formation, leading to genetic variation. |
