|
a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other.
|
|
|
A condition in which both alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed, with neither one being dominant or recessive to the other.
|
|
|
the trait that appears in the heterozygous condition.
|
|
|
the trait that is masked in the heterozygous condition.

Detailed explanation-1: -codominance, in genetics, phenomenon in which two alleles (different versions of the same gene) are expressed to an equal degree within an organism. As a result, traits associated with each allele are displayed simultaneously. An example of codominance is seen in the MN blood group system of humans.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -It occurs when both the alleles of a gene lack dominant and recessive relationships and both are observed phenotypically to the same degree. The phenotypic effect of each allele is observable in the heterozygous condition.
Detailed explanation-4: -Codominance is a heterozygous condition in which both alleles at a gene locus are fully expressed in the phenotype. Alleles which show an independent effect are called as Codominant alleles. In codominance, neither phenotype is completely dominant. The best example of codominance is ABO blood group.
Detailed explanation-5: -Codominance is a form of inheritance wherein the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed. As a result, the phenotype of the offspring is a combination of the phenotype of the parents. Thus, the trait is neither dominant nor recessive.
