Question:
How many allelic forms do genes exist in? Blood types?
Author: AMRIT KAURAnswer:
- Most genes exist in populations in more than two allelic forms - For example, the four phenotypes of the ABO blood group in humans are determined by three alleles for the enzyme that attaches A or B carbohydrates to red blood cells: IA, IB, and i - The enzyme encoded by the IA allele adds the A carbohydrate, whereas the enzyme encoded by the IB allele adds the B carbohydrate; the enzyme encoded by the i allele adds neither
