The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Codominance**: Codominance is a genetic phenomenon where both alleles in a heterozygous individual are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. This means that both traits appear simultaneously in the organism. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - A) Eye color in Drosophila - B) Seed shape and color in Pea - C) AB blood group in man - D) Hemophilia in man 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A (Eye color in Drosophila)**: This is an example of multiple allelism, not codominance. - **Option B (Seed shape and color in Pea)**: This represents simple dominance where one trait masks the other, so it is not codominance. - **Option C (AB blood group in man)**: This is a classic example of codominance. In individuals with AB blood type, both A and B alleles are expressed equally. - **Option D (Hemophilia in man)**: This condition is an example of sex-linked inheritance, not codominance. 4. **Conclusion**: The only option that exemplifies codominance is **C) AB blood group in man**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **C) AB blood group in man**. ---
