The IA and IB alleles code for the A and B antigens on the membranes of erythrocytes. These two antigens can exist together, as in a person with the AB blood type. Since the two alleles can express their character simultaneously, they are considered codominant.

∙ 14y agoI believe that the alleles IA and IB are co-dominant because none of them are recessive. Also, the fact that they produce the phenotype AB means that both of the Parental traits appear together, codominance.

∙ 13y agowell you can have type a blood, type b blood, or type ab blood, (not to mention type o). So the alleles are co-dominant because one does not necessarily completely dominate the other.
It has to do with the proteins present on the outside of the cells.

∙ 9y agoType AB is inherited by codominance. With the other blood types, the A or B is the dominant gene, and determines the phenotype, while O is recessive. Therefore, genotype AO yields phenotype A, and genotype OO yields phenotype O. With the combination of A and B, neither is dominant. Instead they present a combined phenotype.

What are 3 blood alleles?
simply put. A B and O two copies of each allele per person. blood type a = ia ia OR ia io blood type b = ib ib or ib io Blood type o = io io Blood type AB = ia ib
What genes are a good example of multiple alleles?
The human ABO blood group system is a good example of multiple alleles. There are three alleles involved: IA, IB and IO. If a person inherits two IA alleles, or IA and IO, they will be group A. If they inherit two IB alleles, or IB and IO, they will be group B. If you inherit two IO alleles you will be group O.
What is the blood type of person who is heterozygous having A and B alleles codominant?
Blood types is a good example of codominance. There are three alleles for blood type, that can be represented as IA, IB, and i. IA and IB are both dominant to i, but when an individual inherits one of each the former two alleles (IAIB), he or she will have type AB blood. Instead of one allele being straightforwardly dominant to another, or the resulting phenotype being a halfway stage between the two alleles, the phenotype has aspects directly resulting from each allele.
How do alleles make it possible for humans to have four different traits for blood type?
In human beings blood group is determined by four alleles IA, IB, Ii A gene contain only two alleles either IA IA-- result A group IA IB--- result AB group- because of the phenomenon of co-dominance IA Ii---- result A group- A is dominant over i IBIi--- result B group- B is dominant over i IB IB-- result B group Ii Ii-- result O group dr.sreejithnamboodiri@gmaill.com
IA and IB are dominant to?
IA and IB is dominant to ii or sometimes preferred IO.
How many alleles are there for blood type-?
There are three alleles for blood type: IA=Blood type A IB=Blood type B i=Blood type O The alleles for blood type A and B are codominant so when someone contains the IA and IB alleles, their blood type is AB.

Is it possible for a with a blood type alleles Ia and Ib to have blood type a?
In the perfect world, no. IA and IB are codominant so both alleles are represented in the person's phenotype. Blood type A can only be represented by itself in a phenotype if the person's genotype is either IA IA or IA i.(The result of a DNA mutation may be able to create a phenotype of blood type A out of a (purebred) cross (of blood type A and B).No. IA and IB are both codominant . Blood type A can only be represented by itself in a phenotype if the person's genotype is IAIA or IAi. Blood type B can only be represented by itseft in a phenotype if the person's genotype is IBIB or IBi. If the phenotype (blood type) is AB the genotype is IAIB.
How many genes are involved i determining your blood type?
the human blood type is controlled by the gene 'I'. It is of 3 types Ia, Ib and i. the alleles 'Ia' and 'Ib' produce slightly different sugar polymers protruding on its surface while the 'i' doesn't produce any sugar polymers. as humans are haploid the contain 2 alleles out of the 3 I gene alleles, as the individual alleles come from the parent gamete. the alleles 'Ia' and 'Ib' are completely dominant over 'i', i.e, if alleles 'Ia' and 'i' are present then only the allele 'Ia' will be expressed, and the same for 'Ib' and 'i' happens, but when 'Ia' and 'Ib' are present together then they both express their own types, this is because of the co-dominance. Ia + Ia = IaIa = A Ia + Ib = IaIb = AB Ia + i = Iai = A Ib + Ia = IbIa = AB Ib + Ib = IbIb = B Ib + i = Ibi = B i + i = ii = 0 (zero commonly known as O)

Can O mother give birth to A baby?
Yes. Blood type is the common product of three different alleles: Co-dominant IA, and IB, and the recessive i.If the mother has blood type O, she has the alleles ii. Her offspring will have blood type A if the father donates an IA allele. For this, he must be blood type A (IAIA or IAi) or AB (IAIB)Read more: What_cross_could_produce_a_child_with_blood_type_A
