Alleles that produce independent effects in their heterozygous condition are called

1. codominant alleles
2. epistatic alleles
3. complementary alleles
4. supplementary alleles

Correct answer: codominant alleles

Solution

Codominant alleles are those in which both alleles in a heterozygous individual are fully and independently expressed. This is different from dominance, where one allele masks the other, and from epistasis or complementary/supplementary interactions, which involve gene interactions rather than equal independent expression.
