what is co-dominance ?..

Answer / martin

Co-dominance, is when both the alleles are equally dominant
over one and other and so the characteristics of both
allele show equally. eg) A red cow mates with a White cow,
the offspring of this cow turned out to be of Co-dominace
and the cow's colour appeared to turn out a pinkish colour.
but when closely inspected the cow's fur was both red and
white but was evenly distributed on the cow.
