Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Codominant alleles are versions of a gene where neither allele covers up the other. Instead, the two alleles are both expressed equally. Neither allele is dominant, where one allele masks the recessive allele. Rather, in codominant alleles, both alleles are dominant, thus the term “codominant".
Detailed explanation-3: -Other codominance examples are the white-spotted red flower in plants and the black-and-white-coated mammals. Etymology: the term codominance is the combination of co-means “together” and dominance.
