Codominance is where the allele from one parent cannot completely over-ride an allele of the other parent. This is also called Incomplete Dominance, and is a classic example in Shorthorn cattle: for instance, a red Shorthorn bull is bred to a white Shorthorn cow, and the resulting offspring will come out as a red roan. Roans typically have red and white hairs in the same place, not red in one patch or white in one patch and white or red in another, respectively.
