CODOMINANCE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is when the alleles are neither dominant nor recessive. As a result, both alleles are seen in the offspring.
A
Codominance
B
Punnett squares
C
Complete dominance
D
Incomplete dominance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In codominance, the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed. This results in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. As for the incomplete dominance definition, this form of inheritance occurs when the phenotype is intermediate to the phenotype of the parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -Codominance. Codominance refers to the dominance in which the two alleles or traits of the genotypes (of both homozygotes) are expressed together in offspring (phenotype). There is neither a dominant nor recessive allele in cross-breeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alleles IA and IB for ABO blood type are neither dominant nor recessive to one another. Instead, they are codominant to each other. Codominance occurs when two alleles for a gene are expressed equally in the phenotype of heterozygotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Codominance Codominance, as it relates to genetics, refers to a type of inheritance in which two versions (alleles) of the same gene are expressed separately to yield different traits in an individual.

Detailed explanation-5: -Codominance and Incomplete dominance are two types of genetic inheritance. Codominance essentially means that no allele can block or mask the expression of the other allele. On the other hand, incomplete dominance is a condition in which a dominant allele does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele.
