Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A personal with type AB blood has which genotype?
A
type A
B
AA
C
IAIA
D
IAIB
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A blood test of either type AB or type O is more informative. Someone with blood type AB must have both the A and B alleles. The genotype must be AB.

Detailed explanation-2: -IA, IB both are dominant forms so, person with ii allele have O blood group. Thus people with IAIA or IA i have blood group A and individuals having IBIB or IB i genotype have B blood group. Whereas person having genotype IAIB show phenotype AB and individuals with genotype ii have phenotype O [2].

Detailed explanation-3: -In AB blood type (IAIB), both antigens are expressed equally. So, this is an example of Codominance.

Detailed explanation-4: -The AO genotype results in Type A blood because A is dominant over O. Genotypes BB and BO refer to individuals having either two “B” alleles for blood type, or one “B” allele and one “O” allele. Both of those genotypes results in having Type B blood. The BO genotype results in Type B blood because B is dominant over O.

Detailed explanation-5: -The different types of genotypes are-homozygous recessive (pp), homozygous dominant (PP), and heterozygous (Pp). The homozygous dominant and the heterozygous genotypes show the same phenotypes.
