co-dominance

Co-dominance is a type of genetic inheritance in which both alleles of a gene are fully expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual. Unlike in dominant-recessive inheritance, where one allele masks the expression of the other, in co-dominance, both alleles contribute equally and are both visible in the organism’s traits.

Unlike in dominance-recessive inheritance, where one allele masks the expression of another, in co-dominance, both alleles contribute equally and are visible in the organism’s traits. This means that neither allele is dominant or recessive, and the heterozygote … Read more
