Describe multiple albinism showing the inheritance pattern of blood groups in human beings.

Answer»

Multiple albinism-

Multiple albinism is a phenomenon that occurs when more than two alleles exist at a given locus of a chromosome and in a given individual. Only two of these alleles occur, one derived from each parent.

Examples:- ABO blood types in human is an example of multiple allelism where alleles IA, IB and i produce the four phenotypes (A,B,AB and O) of blood groups. In an individual any two different alleles out of many (IA, IB and i) or the same allele in duplicate are present to represent any body group.
