Which of the following conditions represents a case of co-dominance genes?
(1) A gene expresses itself, suppressing the phenotypic effect of its alleles.
(2) Genes that are similar in phenotypic effect when present separately, but when together interact to produce a different trait.
(3) Alleles, both of which interact to produce a trait, which may or may not resemble either of the parental types.
(4) Alleles, each of which produces an independent effect in a heterozygous condition.
