between dominant and co-dominant traits.
A dominant trait IS one that is not visually distinguishable as heterozygous or homozygous, such as hypomelanism in boas... You cannot look at a hypo and tell with 100% certainty that it is/isn't a super.
A co-dominant trait IS one that is, most certainly, visually distinguishable as either a heterozygous or a homozygous animal. You can tell in this case which is which. A few examples would be... tiger in retics... pastel jungle in balls...
There has YET to be proven, with absolute certainty, that there is a co-dominant trait in boas. Hope this has cleared up any confusion.
Best of luck,
