Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What inheritance patterns makes the blood type AB possible?
A
incomplete dominance
B
multiple alleles
C
codominance
D
total dominance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Codominance. In people, one codominant trait that you can’t really observe by looking at a person, but many people know about themselves, is blood type. People with the AB blood type have one A allele and one B allele. Because both alleles are expressed at the same time, their blood type is AB.

Detailed explanation-2: -The AB heterozygote at the classical blood type locus (the ABO locus) expresses both the A and B blood type antigens and has been considered as a classical case of codominance.
