ABO blood groups are an example of:

Answer: Co-dominance (A and B) with recessive O.

  • A Complete dominance of a single allele over all others
  • B Incomplete dominance producing a blended intermediate phenotype
  • C Co-dominance (A and B) with recessive O
  • D Sex linkage carried on the X chromosome

Correct answer: C. Co-dominance (A and B) with recessive O

Explanation: Blood type A and B are codominant (both expressed in AB). O is recessive. Blood type is controlled by multiple alleles (IA, IB, i).

Monohybrid Cross: Tt x TtParent 1 (Tt)Parent 2 (Tt)gametes: T, t (from each parent)TtTtTTTtTtttRatio 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1 tt (3 tall : 1 short if T = tall is dominant)

Punnett square for a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous (Tt) parents, showing the 3:1 phenotypic ratio predicted by Mendel's Law of Segregation.
