Codominance is a form of inheritance in which two different alleles for a gene are both expressed, and neither allele is dominant over the other. One example of codominance is blood type in humans; the alleles for type A blood and type B blood are codominant. If a man who is homozygous for type A blood and a woman who is homozygous for type B blood have children, what would you expect to find in the children? Half will have type A and half will have type B blood. The children will all have type B blood. The children will all have type AB blood. The children will all have type A blood

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

Half will have type A and half will have type B blood. The children will all have type B blood. The children will all have type AB blood. The children will all have type A blood sorry the answers are hard to read, but idk man idk about this one someone help and explain ill give ya a medal

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

hey..can u make a guess or u r new to this topic?

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

but idk I thought it was like half and half

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

basically do a cross...if u have AA and BB as parents then what would be the genotype of d child?

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

AB?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

absolutely correct...now u have already mentioned that blood group is an example of codominance...so in this A and B allele both would be expressed...

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):

So the answer would be C: The children will all have type AB blood. ?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

correct..:D

OpenStudy (beatboxingfetus):
