Co-Dominance

Detailed explanation-1: -In codominance, neither allele is dominant over the other, so both will be expressed equally in the heterozygote. In incomplete dominance, there is an intermediate heterozygote (such as a pink flower when the parents’ phenotypes are red and white).
Detailed explanation-2: -In codominance a heterozygous individual expresses both simultaneously without any blending. An example of codominance is the roan cow which has both red hairs and white hairs. In incomplete dominance a heterozygous individual blends the two traits.
Detailed explanation-3: -What Is a Codominant Trait? Codominance occurs when two heterozygous alleles are fully expressed. Neither allele can dominate, so they both show up, but they do not blend. The prefix co-means “together” so you can use that to remember that “both alleles show up together".
Detailed explanation-4: -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 occurs when both alleles show dominance, as in the case of the AB blood type (IA IB) in humans. Furthermore, the human ABO blood groups represent another deviation from Mendelian simplicity since there are more than two alleles (A, B, and O) for this particular trait.
