The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about ABO blood groups is incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. 1. **ABO blood groups are controlled by the gene I.** - This statement is **correct**. The ABO blood group system is indeed controlled by the gene I, which has different alleles that determine the blood type. 2. **Gene I has four alleles.** - This statement is **incorrect**. The gene I has **three alleles**: I^A, I^B, and I^O (or I). Therefore, stating that it has four alleles is false. 3. **I^A and I^B produce the same type of sugar.** - This statement is **incorrect**. I^A and I^B produce different types of sugars (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells. I^A produces A antigen, while I^B produces B antigen. 4. **I or I^O produce different types of sugar.** - This statement is **correct**. The I^O allele does not produce any antigen, while I^A and I^B produce their respective sugars (antigens). Thus, I^O is different from both I^A and I^B. 5. **I^A and I^B are incompletely dominant.** - This statement is **incorrect**. I^A and I^B are **codominant**, not incompletely dominant. When both alleles are present (I^A and I^B), they express both A and B antigens, resulting in blood type AB. ### Summary of Statements: - **Correct Statements**: 1, 4 - **Incorrect Statements**: 2, 3, 5 ### Conclusion: The **incorrect statements** are: - Gene I has four alleles (Statement 2). - I^A and I^B produce the same type of sugar (Statement 3). - I^A and I^B are incompletely dominant (Statement 5). Thus, the answer to the question is that the statement "Gene I has four alleles" is incorrect.
