  1. Nov 18, 2022 · Codominance. Codominance is a form of inheritance where two alleles of the same gene are expressed roughly equal amounts in an organism. Thus, when alleles for a trait are codominant, both phenotypes are simultaneously displayed. Since it does not follow Mendel’s inheritance law, it is called a Non-Mendelian inheritance.

  2. Feb 3, 2016 · Codominance occurs when multiple alleles are expressed at the same time. Codominance occurs when multiple alleles are expressed at the same time. An example of codominance is blood type. The glycoprotein antigens that make blood types A and B can both be expressed without one "overpowering" the other. In other words, there is no recessive allele here. We call this blood type AB--both the A ...

  3. Remember, codominance is different from incomplete dominance. In the case of incomplete dominance, a heterozygous organism would have a blend of the phenotypes produced by each allele. If this applied to the example above, the heterozygous bird would have uniform lighter blue feathers throughout (a blend of the blue and white phenotypes).

  4. Sep 22, 2024 · Figure 6.5.4 The variety of blood types in humans. Four phenotypes are shown which are A, B, O and AB. These phenotypes are the result of combinations of alleles which exemplify co-dominance (A and B) as well as alleles which exemplify complete dominance (A and B over O). The combinations of alleles result on specific antigens being expressed ...

  6. In the resulting offspring, both phenotypes are displayed equally. This is a classic example of codominance. If an intermediate phenotype was observed, incomplete dominance would be the correct answer. In codominance, both alleles are considered dominant. This means that both alleles will be fully expressed in different regions, resulting in spots.

  8. Sep 9, 2024 · Codominance: Definition: Codominance is a genetic scenario where both alleles at a locus are fully expressed simultaneously in a heterozygote. Neither allele is dominant or recessive; instead, both contribute equally to the phenotype. Example: In the ABO blood group system, alleles I^A and I^B are codominant.
