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.

When both alleles of a pair are fully expressed in
heterozygote,they are called codominant.

both alleles are equally dominant,both alleles are
expressesd at the same time.

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.

The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?
what is the role of Beta-lactamase in Gene Cloning ?
A certain man has the genotype AaBb; genes A and B are on one chromosome and a and b are on its homologue. List the gametes that could be formed with crossing over and with no crossing over
Suppose you are heterozygous for a mutant beta-thalassemia allele. If the frequency of beta-thalassemia is 1/1600 persons, what is the probabilty that your prospective spouse is heterozygous for a mutant beta-thalassemia allele?

The weight of the fruit of one variety of squashes is determined by three pairs of genes: AABBCC produces 6 lb squashes and aabbcc produces 3 lb squashes. Each dominant allele adds 1/2 lb tothe base weight (3 lb). If a pure breeding line that produced 6 lb squashes was crossed with a pure breeding line that produced 3 lb squashes, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F1 and the F2?
Are there additional resources / individuals that you can recommend for my paper?
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
