Multiple alleles occur when a single gene locus has more than two allelic forms present in a population (though any individual carries only two). For the ABO blood group gene, the three alleles IA, IB and i produce six possible genotypes and four phenotypes (A, B, AB and O), with IA and IB showing co-dominance (both expressed together in AB blood) and both dominant over the recessive i allele. This is not sex-linked (the …
