Codominance is when 2 dominate genes appear in the phenotype of an organism.
(some one else can tell you what dominate and recessive genes are)
In codominance, both alleles in a gene pair are expressed equally, resulting in a blending of traits. This is different from a dominant and recessive relationship, where one allele is dominant and masks the expression of the recessive allele.
codominance
The difference between dominant and codominance is power, influence and importance which defines the word dominant. Codominance is an allele gene individuals receive by both parents which is two versions of a gene in relationship to each other.
When an allele is neither dominant nor recessive, it means that both alleles equally influence the trait. This is known as codominance, where both alleles are expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
codominance
The opposite of codominance would be ordinary dominance (the expression of a dominant gene over a recessive one).
No, codominance is a genetic relationship between two versions of a gene where both versions are expressed in the phenotype. In contrast, recessive traits are only expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
this is called codominance
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
The two types of alleles are dominant and recessive. The recessive allele will still be present but the recessive trait is not usually seen. However, is not always overruled. In the cases of codominance and incomplete dominance, the recessive trait still shows through some of the dominant one.
If you have a heterozygous (one dominant and one recessive) individual, it will only express the dominant allele in complete dominance; if it's codominance then some sort of "combined property" resulting from both the dominant and recessive allele would be expressed. On the other hand if you have a homozygous (both dominant or both recessive) you needn't bother.
Codominance is not the same as recessive or dominant. If two alleles are codominant, both traits are expressed in the phenotype (i.e. they both show in the organism). For instance, if a cow inherits genes for both red (R) and white(W) hairs, it will have the genotype RW, and some of its hairs will be red and some white, giving it a coat called roan.
