Essentially traits of both genes will be shown. Take heterochromia for example, where a person has a green eye and a blue eye, both have some part in developing a trait.

I answered a similar question before so I'm going to use an example from there. Two plants, a dark purple flower and a white flower create an offspring with dark purple and white petals on the flower. This is an example of the gene displaying codominance in effect. 

Codominance allows for two genes to exist independently at the same time without mixing. Think of another example. Say your mother has blue hair and your dad has red hair. If you have both blue and red strands. That is codominance. The two colors who co-exist. If you got purple, you would have incomplete dominance. Notice that the purple is a mix and of blue and red. They are dependent on each other. 

Hope that helps! :D

Answer:

In the first diagram the weakened pathogen (weaker version of the disease) is inserted into the bloodstream.

In the second diagram the antibodies kill the weakened pathogen. When the immune systems encounters a new disease it "remembers it".

This is why in the third diagram, when the "real" pathogen enters the bloodstream the immune system can effectively kill the disease. As the immune system "remembers" how to defeat the weakened version it can more effectively kill the "real" version.

Why is genetic variation important?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Genetic variation is important because a population has a better chance of surviving and flourishing than a population with limited genetic variation. Genetic diversity also decreases the occurrence of unfavorable inherited traits.
