If two persons with 'AB' blood group marry and have sufficiently a large number of children, these children could be classified as 'A' blood group in 1:2:1 ratio. The modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals the presence of both 'A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of 

  • codominance

  • incomplete dominance

  • partial dominance

  • partial dominance


A.

codominance

In codominance, both alleles of a pair express themselves fully in F1 hybrid. It is contrary to the situation seen in incomplete dominance. where traits express themselves only partially. This is not the example of partial dominance or complete dominance.

AB→ |A|B →antigen A +Antigen B →Codominance.
