Question

n dominant/recessive inheritance patterns, the dominant allele is always expressed when present. The recessive allele is only expressed when the dominant allele is not present. Use your observations from this activity to describe how codominant inheritance patterns differ from dominant/recessive inheritance patterns.

Answer 1

With chicken feathers, both parents have the ability to pass on their genes to appear. Unlike dominance and recessive traits, these traits are able to dominate and have hybrid patterns for their offspring.

Answer 2

In codominance there is neither dominant or recessive. Both are show in the offspring. For example, with blood if a parent has A and the other has B the offspring with codominance is AB.
