Explanation
Homozygous dominant in ABO: two identical dominant alleles Steps:
- Recall ABO alleles: I^A and I^B dominant/codominant, I^O recessive.
- Define homozygous dominant as genotype with two copies of same dominant allele (I^A or I^B).
- Identify options with matching alleles: A has two I^A, C has two I^B.
- Select C as example of homozygous dominant for I^B allele.
Why C is correct:
- I^B I^B consists of two identical dominant I^B alleles, per Mendelian genetics definition of homozygosity for a dominant trait.
Why the others are wrong:
- A. I^A I^A is homozygous but for I^A allele, not I^B.
- B. I^A I^B is heterozygous with two different codominant alleles.
- D. I^A I^O is heterozygous, pairing dominant I^A with recessive I^O.
Final answer: C
