Do Codominant Alleles Assort Independently?

Codominance describes the simultaneous expression of both of the alleles in the heterozygote. ... When genes are located in close proximity on the same chromosome, their alleles tend to be inherited together. This results in offspring ratios that violate Mendel's law of independent assortment.

Do chromosomes assort independently?

Genes that are on different chromosomes (like the Y and R genes) assort independently.

Do alleles segregate independently?

Although Mendel's principle of independent assortment states that alleles of different genes will segregate independently into gametes, in reality, this is not always the case. Sometimes, alleles of certain genes are inherited together, and they do not appear to undergo independent assortment at all.
