Explain: In 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 differs from dominant/recessive inheritance patterns.

Codominance refers to a type of inheritance in which both alleles of a particular gene are expressed in the phenotype. In other words, no allele is completely dominant over the other. This differs from dominant/recessive inheritance patterns, in which only one copy of a dominant allele needs to be present to express the phenotype, and two copies of the recessive allele are required in order to express the recessive phenotype.

2) I'm not sure exactly what answer you are looking for here, but an example of codominance is individuals with blood type AB. In this case, the offspring inherits the A allele from one parent, and the B allele from the other parent. Such individuals express both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells, making them phenotypically blood type AB.

Co-dominance is an inheritance pattern whereby both alleles of a particular gene are equally expressed in the phenotype.

I don't know what your activity is but i will try to explain the concepts of co-dominance as well as  dominant and recessive genes in a pair of alleles. Genes are units of inheritance found in the chromosome. Genes occur in pairs called alleles. Each pair of alleles control a certain trait. The expressed trait as a result of the genes combined in a pair of alleles is called the phenotype.

Usually, one allele in the gene is expressed whenever it is present. This is called the dominant gene. The recessive gene is only expressed in the absence of the dominant gene. It then follows that the phenotype of the organism depends on the presence or absence of the dominant gene.

Sometimes, the phenotype of the organism is controlled by both genes in the allele. None of the genes masks the other. This phenomenon is called Co-dominance. It is an inheritance pattern whereby both alleles of a particular gene are equally expressed in the phenotype.
