The AB blood group in the ABO system is an example of:
A. Pleiotropy
B. Incomplete dominance
C. Codominance
D. Multiple allelism only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Codominance occurs when both alleles in a heterozygote are fully and equally expressed. In the ABO blood group system, the IA and IB alleles are codominant. An individual with the genotype IAIB will have both A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells, resulting in the AB blood type. It also involves multiple alleles (IA, IB, i).
