The correct Answer is:
To determine which blood group exhibits co-dominance, we need to understand the concept of co-dominance and how it relates to blood groups. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Co-dominance**: - Co-dominance is a genetic phenomenon where both alleles in a heterozygous genotype are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. 2. **Identifying Blood Groups**: - The ABO blood group system consists of four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O. - The genotypes for these blood groups are: - Blood Group A: Genotype can be IAIA or IAi (where 'i' is the O allele). - Blood Group B: Genotype can be IBIB or IBi. - Blood Group AB: Genotype is IAIB (both A and B alleles are present). - Blood Group O: Genotype is ii (no A or B antigens present). 3. **Analyzing Each Blood Group**: - **Blood Group A**: Only the A allele is present (IA), so it does not show co-dominance. - **Blood Group B**: Only the B allele is present (IB), so it does not show co-dominance. - **Blood Group AB**: Both A (IA) and B (IB) alleles are present and expressed, demonstrating co-dominance. - **Blood Group O**: No A or B alleles are present (ii), so it does not exhibit co-dominance. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only blood group that shows co-dominance is AB, where both alleles (IA and IB) are expressed simultaneously. ### Final Answer: Co-dominance is seen in the person who has blood group **AB**. ---
