A person’s blood type is the result of expression of a gene with three alleles. However, only 2 alleles are expressed in any cell. This gene determines what type of sugar molecule gets added to the red blood cell membrane. The alleles for this gene are codominant. Together, this means that:     a. only one allele is expressed and the other two are not expressed     b. two alleles are expressed, and both are dominant     c. if you took 10 single red blood cells from 1 person and looked at them, 1/3 would show 1 type of sugar molecule, 1/3 would have the 2nd sugar molecule, and 1/3 would have no sugar molecules on the surface     d. All of the above are true
