Codominant Alleles

Description:

Codominant alleles refer to multiple gene variants or alleles present in an organism's genetic makeup, where both alleles are fully expressed and contribute to the phenotype. Unlike dominant and recessive alleles, which result in only one allele being expressed, codominant alleles have an equal influence on the physical characteristics or traits of an organism.

Sample Sentences:

1. The A and B blood type alleles are codominant, resulting in the AB blood type when present together.
2. In some plants, codominant alleles determine flower color, leading to beautiful patterns of mixed hues.
3. When an individual inherits codominant alleles for eye color, they might have heterochromia, where each eye has a different color.
