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 it where both traits are shown in the phenotype?

Codominance


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.


How does codominance effect phenotype?

Codominance occurs when both alleles contribute to the phenotype of a heterozygous individual. This results in a phenotype that displays characteristics of both alleles simultaneously, rather than blending them. This can lead to unique patterns or color combinations in the phenotype.


What and what Are similar because the heterozygous phenotype is different from the homozygous dominant phenotpe?

Incomplete Dominance and Codominance.


In what alleles can be observed in the phenotype?

you mean phenotype, and its dominant alleles


What both alleles contribute to the phenotype this a kind of dominance called?

codominance


How many alleles are there in codominance?

In codominance, there are at least two alleles contributing to the phenotype of an individual, each allele independently expressed. This means that both alleles are fully expressed in the heterozygous genotype, resulting in a distinct phenotype.


Pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism?

The pattern of inheritance in which both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism is codominance. For example white and red hair color in cattle. Black and white feather color in certain chickens.


What is the interaction of two alleles in which both alleles can be observed in a phenotype?

Codominance is the interaction of two alleles where both alleles are equally expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a mixed or blended phenotype. This means that the traits controlled by each allele are both visible in the individual.


What is the key recognition of codominance?

The heterozygote expresses the phenotype of both homozygotes.


How is codominance difference from dominant and recessive relationship?

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)


What Dominant alleles are both fully expressed in a phenotype?

The form of inheritance in which two (different) alleles are both expressed is called codominance. An example of codominance is the orange and black coat of a type of calico cat called a tortoiseshell. Both the orange allele and the black allele for coat color are expressed.
