The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is an example of codominance, we first need to understand the concept of codominance in genetics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Codominance**: Codominance occurs when both alleles in a heterozygous genotype are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. This means that both traits are visible in the organism. 2. **Identifying Examples**: Common examples of codominance include: - **Sickle Cell Anemia**: In sickle cell anemia, individuals with one normal allele (HBA) and one sickle cell allele (HBS) (genotype HBA/HBS) exhibit traits of both normal and sickle-shaped red blood cells. This is a classic example of codominance. - **ABO Blood Grouping**: In the ABO blood group system, individuals with genotype IAIB express both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, resulting in blood type AB. This is also an example of codominance. 3. **Evaluating Options**: - If the options provided include genotypes or conditions related to sickle cell anemia and ABO blood grouping, we can analyze them: - **Option with HBA/HBS**: This represents a carrier for sickle cell anemia and is an example of codominance. - **Option with IAIB**: This represents blood type AB and is also an example of codominance. - **Options with homozygous conditions (e.g., AA or BB)**: These do not represent codominance because they express only one trait. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the understanding of codominance and the evaluation of the examples, the correct answer would be the option that includes either HBA/HBS (sickle cell anemia carrier) or IAIB (AB blood type), as both demonstrate codominance. ### Final Answer: The examples of codominance are: - Sickle Cell Anemia (HBA/HBS) - ABO Blood Grouping (IAIB)
