Question:

Options:

Incomplete dominance

Multiple alleleism

Lethal gene

None of these

Correct Answer:

Multiple alleleism

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (2) -Multiple alleleism

 Apart from showing co-dominance, the ABO blood grouping also demonstrates multiple alleleism. Multiple alleleism refers to the presence of more than two alleles for a particular gene in a population. In the case of the ABO blood group system, there are three main alleles: IA, IB, and i, which determine the A, B, and O blood types, respectively.
