in this pedigree, which family members are carriers of a recessive trait?
Codominance is a type of inheritance where both alleles in a heterozygous individual are fully expressed. In the image, when a red - flowered plant (RR) is crossed with a white - flowered plant (rr), the offspring (Rr) has a pink flower, which is not an example of codominance as codominance would result in a flower with both red and white patches. Heterozygous intermediate traits occur when the heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes, which is the case here as the pink flower is intermediate between red and white. Homozygous recessive traits would be the white flower (rr) in this case, but the question is about the Rr offspring. Homozygous intermediate traits don't exist in this context as intermediate traits are typically associated with heterozygosity.
