The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Heterozygous Condition**: - A heterozygous condition occurs when an organism has two different alleles for a particular gene. For example, if one allele is for brown eyes (B) and the other is for blue eyes (b), the organism is heterozygous (Bb). 2. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option 1: Colorblindness**: This condition is typically caused by a recessive allele. In a heterozygous individual (XcX), only the dominant allele is expressed, meaning that colorblindness does not express both alleles simultaneously. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: AB Blood Group**: In this case, both A and B alleles are present and expressed. This is an example of co-dominance, where both alleles contribute to the phenotype. Therefore, this option is correct. - **Option 3: Rh Factor**: The Rh factor also follows a pattern where the presence of the dominant allele determines the phenotype. In a heterozygous condition (Rh+Rh-), only the dominant Rh+ allele is expressed, making this option incorrect. - **Option 4: A and B Blood Types**: Similar to the Rh factor, if an individual has one A allele and one B allele, only one type will be expressed at a time unless both are present, which is not the case here. Thus, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all the options, the only situation where both alleles express themselves in a heterozygous condition is in the AB blood group (Option 2). Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2. ### Final Answer: **Option 2: AB Blood Group** is the correct answer, as it demonstrates co-dominance where both alleles are expressed.
