what is co-dominance ?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
co-dominance means there are always two alleles for any
character. If the two alleles are equally dominant over one
another and neither of them exprasses to outside is called
codominance.Here neither of the character appares in
offspring.This phenomenon can be clearly explained by
taking the example of drosophila.

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.

Answer / myimba
It is the combination of one dominant and one recessive
alleles. The best example is the blood type AB. The blood
type A and B are combined together resulting to this bloodtype.
