Dominant, co-dominant, and recessive speak to the nature of the gene itself, and only deals with the way the gene expresses itself in each combination.

Dominant - Both heterozygous and homozygous look the same -- neither appear "normal".

Co-Dominant - The heterozygous and homozygous versions look different from each-other -- neither appear "normal".

Recessive - Only the homozygous version appears different -- heterozygous animals look "normal".

Thanks a lot for the explanation ctrlfreq.. that helps alot . i wasnt thinking of it as heterozygous and homozygous and i was totally confused
