O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/12/O/N/18

Explanation
Dominance hierarchy in ABO blood groups
Steps:
- Identify alleles: I^A and I^B dominant over I^O; I^A and I^B codominant.
- Define homozygous dominant: Both alleles identical and dominant (e.g., I^A I^A).
- Evaluate options: A heterozygous (I^A dominant, I^O recessive); B homozygous I^A; C heterozygous codominant; D homozygous recessive.
- Select matching genotype: B fits homozygous dominant for I^A.
Why B is correct:
- I^A I^A has two identical dominant I^A alleles, expressing type A blood fully.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Heterozygous; one dominant, one recessive allele.
- C: Heterozygous codominant; different dominant alleles produce type AB.
- D: Homozygous recessive; both I^O alleles produce type O.
Final answer: B
