An example of CoDominant is the Pastel morph.
You could have a regular Pastel which is heterozygous for that gene (Pp).
Or you could get a Super Pastel which is homozygous for that gene (PP).

Whereas in the case of a Dominant morph you cannot tell the difference between the heterozygous and homozygous states. Such as a Spider (which is currently considered dominant). A het and a homozygous individual would both just be "Spiders", and you couldn't tell just by looking at it what its genes are.
