What's the difference between genotype and phenotype?

What is Mendel's Law of Dominance?

Mendel's law of dominance states that in a heterozygote, one trait will hide the presence of another trait for the same characteristic

What's the difference between incomplete dominance and codominance?

In codominance, both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype. In incomplete dominance, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen in phenotype
