An example for codominance

  • Eye colour in Drosophila

  • Seed shape and colour in pea plants

  • ABO blood group in man

  • Haemophilia in man

  • Haemophilia in man


C.

ABO blood group in man

In codominance, both the alleles of a gene are equally dominant i.e. the dominant character is not able to suppress the recessive character & thus both the characters appear side by side in F1 hybrids. F1 generation resembles both the parents. E.g., ABO blood group.
