Summary Introduction

To compare: Strict dominance with codominance.

Introduction: According to Mendelian inheritance, the expression of every character is influenced by two or more genes and every gene is made of a pair of alleles. These alleles can be either dominant or recessive. A dominant allele usually masks the expression of the recessive allele and expresses itself while a recessive allele is expressed only in the absence of a dominant allele.
