The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the inheritance of genes involved in human ABO blood grouping, we will analyze each statement provided: 1. **Statement I: It is inherited by complete dominant allele.** - In ABO blood grouping, the alleles IA (type A) and IB (type B) are dominant over the allele i (type O). Therefore, when either IA or IB is present with i, the blood group will be A or B, respectively. This statement is partially correct because while IA and IB are dominant, they do not represent complete dominance over each other. 2. **Statement II: It is inherited by complete recessive allele.** - The allele i is indeed a recessive allele. An individual must have two copies of the i allele (ii) to express the O blood group. So, this statement is correct. 3. **Statement III: It is inherited by co-dominant allele.** - The alleles IA and IB are co-dominant. When both alleles are present (IAIB), they express both A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells, resulting in blood group AB. This statement is correct. 4. **Statement IV: It is inherited by a single gene with more than two alleles.** - The ABO blood group is controlled by a single gene (the ABO gene) that has three alleles: IA, IB, and i. This means that this statement is also correct. ### Conclusion: All four statements regarding the inheritance of genes involved in human ABO blood grouping are correct. ### Final Answer: **All statements (I, II, III, IV) are correct.** ---
