Codominance is a form of inheritance in which two different alleles for a gene are both expressed, and neither allele is dominant over the other. one example of codominance is blood type in humans; the alleles for type a blood and type b blood are codominant. if a man who is homozygous for type a blood and a woman who is homozygous for type b blood have children, what would you expect to find in the children?

Hey,
As both the parents are homozygous, the gametes produced by male parent carry genes for A blood group and gametes produced by female will carry genes for B blood group. So, zygote/embryo will have both Genes for A & B. since they are codominant, AB blood group is only possible.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.
