Is a dominant trait always dominant?

In: Biology, Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, sometimes there are instances of "codominance", where two dominant traits are expressed equally. This occurs in the human body for example, with A and B type blood. An A parent and a B parent, can produce an AB type child. Both types A and B are dominant to O type blood, however they can coexist together.
