The video tutorial covers co-dominance in genetics, using chickens as an example. It explains how co-dominance involves both traits being expressed together, unlike traditional dominance. The tutorial uses a Punnett Square to demonstrate how to solve a co-dominance problem, specifically crossing a black and a white chicken to predict the probability of offspring with black and white spotted feathers. The video emphasizes using different letters for alleles in co-dominance scenarios.
