Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A condition in which neither of two alleles for a gene is dominant or recessive.
A
codominance
B
heterozygous
C
diploid
D
haploid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Codominance is the phenomenon when the two alleles of a gene neither show dominant-recessive relationship nor show intermediate condition, but both of them express themselves independently in the heterozygous condition.

Detailed explanation-2: -Codominance occurs when the alleles do not show any dominant and recessive allele relationship.

Detailed explanation-3: -Codominance Definition 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Incomplete dominance occurs because neither of the two alleles is completely dominant over the other. This results in a phenotype that is a combination of both.
