What is the phenotypic and genotypic ratio for codominance?

Assertion: The phenomenon in whichy two alleles both expressed in the heterozygous condition is knoiwn as codominance. Reason: The codominance was demonstrated in plants with the help of electrophoresis.

The allele for pea comb (P) in chickens is completely dominant to the allele for single comb (p) . The alleles for black feather colour (B), and white feather colour (B') show codominance, so that BB' individuals possess blue feathers. If chickens heterozygous for both pairs of genes are mated what proportion of offspring are expected to be pea combed and white feathered ?

Differentiate incomplete dominance and codominance.

Assertion: In monohybrid cross, when two homozygous dominant and recessive traits and crossed, an intermediate character is found in F_(1) generation. Reason: This may be due to codominance of two alleles.
