Codominant

In this model we'll use a Pastel Jungle as the co-dominant example.
This chart can be applied to all codominant morphs.
Homozygous = Super Pastel
Heterozygous = Pastel Jungle

Homozygous - means a pair of identical genes. These may be two identical normal genes or two identical mutant genes.

Heterozygous - means a pair of non-identical alleles. Alleles are different versions of the same gene. The usual case is a normal allele paired with a changed (mutant) allele. An individual that is heterozygous for a codominant mutant gene does not look normal and does not look like an individual that is homozygous for the codominant mutant gene.
