Q

Co-dominance

A

With codominance, a cross between organisms with two different phenotypes produces 
offspring with a third phenotype in which both of the parental traits appear together. Parent is A, Parent is B, Child is AB BOTH. Not a mixture. Conventionally, co-dominant alleles are given capital letters with capital letters as superscripts.
