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.

How does codominance change the offsprings phenotype?

Codominance is contrary to typical mendelian genetics, in that no one allele is dominant to the other, so they are both expressed equally. The important part is that the offspring with express each allele independently, such as having spots of one color, then spots of another color, instead of blending the two colors, which would be incomplete dominance. So codominance changes the offsprings phenotype by making the offspring express both alleles equally, yet each allele's expression is separate/distinguishable, not blended.


What is the opposite of codominance?

The opposite of codominance would be ordinary dominance (the expression of a dominant gene over a recessive one).
