Codominance is when neither trait is dominant nor recessive. Both traits are equally likely to occur and the offspring is often from a blending trait. For example, if two co dominant animals mate and one is brown and the other is white, the offspring will be a blending of both colors.

Is sickle cell an example of codominance in genetics?

Yes, sickle cell anemia is an example of codominance in genetics.


How is codominance an exception to the laws of genetics proposed by Mendel?

Its an exception because both of the alleles are expressed in heterozygotes.


What is the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance in genetics?

Codominance is when both alleles in a gene pair are fully expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a blending or combination of traits. Incomplete dominance is when neither allele is completely dominant, leading to a phenotype that is a mix of the two alleles.

At is a gene with two dominant alleles that are expressed at the same time?

In genetics, gene with two dominant alleles that are expressed at the same time is known as codominance. This results in a phenotype where both alleles are equally and fully expressed in the offspring. An example of codominance is the AB blood type in humans, where the A and B alleles are both expressed on the surfaces of red blood cells.


Where can one find images of codominance?

Codominance refers to a biological phenomenon concerning genes having more than one dominant allele. More simply, it refers to an organism expressing more than one of a trait that might usually be considered to be a 'pick one'. For example, if one person with blood type A had a child with another person who was blood type B, the child may express codominance and have blood type AB. Given what codominance is, it doesn't really make sense to want 'images' of codominance. However if one is really set on that task, Google images is always a good choice.


What are the key differences between Mendelian genetics and non-Mendelian genetics in terms of inheritance patterns?

Mendelian genetics follows predictable patterns of inheritance based on dominant and recessive alleles, while non-Mendelian genetics involves more complex inheritance patterns such as incomplete dominance, codominance, and polygenic inheritance. Mendelian genetics is based on the principles discovered by Gregor Mendel, while non-Mendelian genetics includes variations that do not strictly follow Mendel's laws.


If two dominant alleles are expressed at the same time this is a case of what?

This is called codominance. In codominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
