Multiple Alleles12. The major blood groups in humans are determined by multiple alleles; that is there are more than twopossible alleles, any one of which can occupy a locus.In this ABO blood group system, a single gene can exist in any of three allelic forms: 14, #, or i. Thealleles A and B code for production of antigen A and antigen B (two proteins) on the surface of red bloodcells. Alleles A and B are codominant, while allele i is recessive.Four blood groups (phenotypes) are possible from combinations of these alleles (Table 1).TABLE 1 The ABO Blood GroupsBlood TypeAnitgens PresentAntibody PresentGenotypeNeither A nor BA and BAABMA or AiBBAАВАВNeither A nor Ba.
