The polymorphisms between individuals result from sequence differences in one or both of the primer binding sites, and are visible as the presence or absence of a particular RAPD band. Such polymorphisms thus behave as dominant genetic markers.

You can develop locus-specific, co-dominant markers from RAPDs

The sequence of the dominant and the recessive alleles are different. This causes the dominance of one. If the difference is in the bindingite of the primer (or primers), you won't get the band. (It occures if the primers are designed for only one allele.) You can get the recessive allele, if you use degenerated primers.
