Which of the following is an example of codominance?
co-dominance is when both alleles are expressed together in a diploid organism.
flowers of a certain plant can come in purple, blue, or yellow- this need not be co-dominance, it can be due to multiple genes and their interaction like epistasis
a Scorpio’s venom is more potent when it’s younger- here the expression changes according to age this is not an example of co-dominance.
in roan cattle, you can see a mix of both red and white furs- this is an example of codominance, both alleles are expressed in the heterozygous condition, that is both red and white alleles are expressed and the phenotype of the heterozygote is roan.
there are many possible mutations that lead to white eyes in flies- this is not an example of codominance, this can be due to multiple genes.
a certain plant can have jagged, rough, or smooth edges on its leaves- this is an exampled of incomplete dominance, heterozygotes have rough leaves.
C) in roan cattle, you can see a mix or both red and white furs
