The statements which describe codominance are: Traits are neither dominant nor recessive. Both alleles, one from each parent, are expressed in offspring. Codominance involves the interaction of two alleles.

Answer: Option B, D & E

Explanation:

Dominant alleles and recessive alleles are the two types found in the genotype. Co dominance means co existence of both the dominant and recessive producing a hybrid with both traits inherited from both the parent. So the traits are neither dominant nor recessive.

Codominance involves the interaction of two alleles where in the hybrid one allele from each parent and both alleles are completely represented. In human if we take the blood group AB it is inherited from both the parents. A from one and B from the other.
