e.g., the kind of inhertance in the dog flower (Snapdragon or Antirrhinum species) in which the intermediate trait is expressed in `F_(1)`-generation.
Codominance is a phenomenon in which when two contrasting alleles are present together and both of the alleles express themselves.
e.g., AB blood group in humans where both the alleles are expressed to produce RBC surface antigens A and B
