  • Codominance: Understanding When Both Alleles are Expressed
    The condition in which neither allele is dominant or recessive is called codominance.

    Here's how it works:

    * Dominant alleles express their trait even if only one copy is present.

    * Recessive alleles only express their trait if two copies are present.

    * Codominant alleles both express their traits equally.

    Example:

    In the case of human blood types, the alleles for A and B are codominant. If someone inherits one A allele and one B allele, they will have blood type AB, expressing both A and B antigens on their red blood cells.
