Question
Chapter 3, Problem 33QP
Summary Introduction
To predict: The genotype of the parents with three children of blood group AB, B and O.
Introduction: The human blood group is an example of codominance where the alleles for the two antigens A and B are equally dominant. It means that when the two antigens A and B are present, the blood group is AB whereas in the absence of both the antigens, the blood group is O.

Students have asked these similar questions
How can Mendel's postulates of segregation and
independent assortment be explained
by meiosis?
How do events in meiosis explain each of Mendels two laws?
When Gregor Mendel was working in the mid 1800s, scientists had not yet discovered chromosomes or meiosis. However, we now understand how Mendel's principles are rooted in the events of meiosis. As an example of this, state Mendel's principle of independent assortment and explain how it relates to independent assortment in meiosis.
