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.
