Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
phenotypes that shows both traits
A
semi-dominant
B
heterozygous
C
codominance
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Indeed, “codominance” is the specific term for a system in which an allele from each homozygote parent combines in the offspring, and the offspring simultaneously demonstrates both phenotypes. An example of codominance occurs in the human ABO blood group system.

Detailed explanation-2: -In codominance, there are two possible phenotypes. When both alleles at a gene locus are completely expressed in the phenotype, it is known as codominance, which is a heterozygous state. Both phenotypes are partially dominant in codominance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of codominance include a person with type AB blood, which means that both the A allele and the B allele are equally expressed. Another example is roan fur in cattle, in which white and red hair is equally expressed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Codominance. In people, one codominant trait that you can’t really observe by looking at a person, but many people know about themselves, is blood type. People with the AB blood type have one A allele and one B allele. Because both alleles are expressed at the same time, their blood type is AB.
