Questions
What is codominance?
- When two alleles of a gene are both expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygote
- When one allele of a gene is dominant over the other allele
- When two alleles of a gene are both recessive
- When two alleles of a gene are both incompletely dominant
Which of the following is an example of codominance?

What is the phenotype of an individual with codominant alleles?
- A blend of the two phenotypes
