Which statement describes the blood type of a person with the alleles IAi? It is type AB because I and i are codominant. It is type AB because A and i are codominant. It is type A because i is dominant and A is recessive. It is type A because A is dominant and i is recessive.
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.
The blood type AB is characterized by codominance because both the A and B alleles are expressed equally on the surface of the red blood cells. This results in individuals with blood type AB having both A and B antigens present.
Codominance is a genetic phenomenon where two different alleles for a trait are expressed equally in the phenotype of an organism. An example of codominant alleles is the ABO blood group system, specifically the A and B alleles. When an individual inherits both the A and B alleles, their blood type is AB, displaying characteristics of both types without blending, which illustrates that neither allele is dominant or recessive. This results in both A and B antigens being present on the surface of red blood cells.
The child could be AB, A, B, or O. It all depends on what the genotypes are for the parents. If they are both homozygous dominant (AA and BB), they will have an AB child. If one is AA and the other BO, the child could be AB or A. Both A and B alleles are completely dominant over the O allele. They are codominant, however, and when a child receives both A and B alleles from her parents, he or she will be AB blood type.
Crossing A genes with B genes can produce offspring with blood types A, B, AB, or O. The A and B genes are codominant, meaning they both express themselves in the AB genotype, while the O gene is recessive to both A and B.
A person with phenotype AB blood must have genotype AB blood. Meaning that the person has inherited both A and B alleles.
A codominant trait is when two different alleles for a gene are both expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygous individual. This results in a distinct phenotype that shows features of both alleles. An example is the AB blood type in humans, where both the A and B alleles are expressed.
Blood grouping. Type A and type B alleles are co-dominant over type O, so if you inherit a type A allele from one parent and a type B allele from the other, you will have both antigens on your red blood cells and you'll be type AB. One does not dominate over the other, both are expressed if present.

Yes, sickle cell anemia is considered a codominant trait in genetic inheritance.
