Monogenic inheritance
Inheritance of a single gene
Codominance
Two different alleles occur for a gene - both are equally dominant, so both are expressed
3 alleles of immunoglobulin
IA - production of antigen A
IB - production of antigen B
IO - production of neither antigens
Blood group A genotypes
IAIA or IOIA
Blood group B genotypes
IBIB or IOIB
Blood group AB genotype
IAIB
Blood group O genotype
IOIO
