Generation

## Codominance **Codominance** occurs when two different alleles are both fully expressed in a heterozygous individual, resulting in a phenotype that shows *both* traits simultaneously, rather than a blend. **Classic example:** ABO blood type, where the IA and IB alleles are codominant. A person with both alleles (IAIB) has type AB blood, producing both A and B antigens on their red blood cells. ## Common Misconception Many people confuse codominance with **incomplete dominance**. - **Codominance:** Both traits appear distinctly (e.g., a roan cow with both red AND white hairs) - **Incomplete dominance:** Traits blend to create an intermediate phenotype (e.g., a pink flower from red and white parents) The key difference: codominance shows both original traits side-by-side, while incomplete dominance creates something in-between.
