Practise IB Biology HL 2.5.9 by analysing blood-group evidence and inheritance involving codominant alleles.
Variation in genetically inherited characteristics is the basis for evolution.
Outline the inheritance of blood types in the ABO blood system in humans.
a. i and I A and IB are alleles (of the blood group gene)
b. IA is dominant and i is recessive /IB is dominant and i is recessive
c. Group O (only) with ii and Group A with IAi or IAIA/ Group B with IBi or IBIB
d. IA and IB are co-dominant so Group AB with IAIB
e. one allele/copy of the gene inherited from each parent/Punnett square showing this
Disallow mpa if allele notation is incorrect (such as using different letters for different alleles) but allow other mps. The notation I' can be accepted instead of i Reject blood groups or types being dominant/recessive - it should be alleles.
