Cattle which are homozygous for a red (RR) coat allele are red, cattle which are homozygous for a white (WW) coat allele are white, and heterozygous (RW) cattle appear roan (red hairs mixed with white) due to codominance of the red and white coat color alleles. a.

Introduction

A link between two variants of a gene is known as codominance. Each parent gives each child one allele, which is a variant of a gene. However, in codominance, neither allele is recessive, and both phenotypes are expressed.
