Mendelian Genetics Question

[Michael Kolotila x3887]

Hi Tom:
Roan is an example of codominance.  If you examine the hairs of the roan 
animal, you will find both red and white hairs as compared with 4 
o'clocks which have pink flowers and the cells are pink and dots of red 
and white.   
Hope this answers your question.
Michael
