The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the ABO blood group alleles \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) when present together, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the ABO Blood Group System**: - The ABO blood group system is controlled by three alleles: \( I^A \), \( I^B \), and \( i \) (where \( i \) is the recessive allele). - The alleles \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) are both dominant over the recessive allele \( i \). 2. **Identify the Nature of the Alleles**: - \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) are co-dominant alleles. This means that when both alleles are present in an individual, they will both be expressed. 3. **Determine the Possible Blood Groups**: - The possible blood groups based on the combinations of these alleles are: - **A Blood Group**: Genotypes can be \( I^A I^A \) or \( I^A i \). - **B Blood Group**: Genotypes can be \( I^B I^B \) or \( I^B i \). - **AB Blood Group**: Genotype is \( I^A I^B \) (both \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) are expressed). - **O Blood Group**: Genotype is \( ii \) (only recessive alleles). 4. **Analyze the Given Condition**: - The question states that both \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) are present together. According to the principles of co-dominance, both alleles will be expressed. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, if both \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) are present, the resulting blood group will be AB. - The correct answer to the question is that both alleles express, leading to the AB blood group. ### Final Answer: Both \( I^A \) and \( I^B \) express together, resulting in the AB blood group. ---
