Codominance is a type of inheritance in which the expression of the two alleles (dominant and recessive) of the same gene results in the appearance of both traits in an individual instead of only one being dominant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The concepts of dominance and recessiveness are fundamental to the understanding of Mendelian inheritance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, when a gene has multiple alleles<\/a>, not all of the alleles will necessarily follow simple dominance because the gene may contain one or more alleles that are dominant or recessive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In such cases, the concepts of incomplete dominance<\/a> and codominance come forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
