Codominance means that the result of two different genes will give separated characteristics of both. For example, if an animal has a gene of red skin and another gene of white skin, it will have red in some parts of the body and white skin in other parts. It can be confused with incomplete dominance, which combines the characteristics of the genes, in these case the skin would be pink, the combination of white and red. People who have one gene of it are carriers of the disease of course, because it can be passed to their sons.

For over a decade, farmers in the U.S. have been planting genetically modified crops. An example of one of these crops is corn t

sdas [7]

One possible negative side effect of planting corn that is resistant to weed-killer is that: the resistance gene could be transferred to actual weeds, making farming more difficult.

<h3>What is genetic engineering?</h3>

Genetic engineering is also referred to as genetic modification and it can be defined as a technological process that involves the use of laboratory-based technologies to alter or modify the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) makeup of a living organism, in order to improve on both its physical and chemical conditions, or cure (correct) a genetic disorder in some cases.

Based on historical records, corn is a genetically modified crop with an ability to resist weed-killer, which makes it possible for it survive even when it is exposed to herbicide that are designed and developed to kill weeds.

However, one of the demerits of planting a genetically modified corn that is resistant to weed-killer is that the genes responsible for this resistance could be transferred to actual weeds, which would eventually make farming to be more difficult for farmers.
