So I don't really understand human blood groups

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-17] [Hit: ]
4 The gene for blood type has two different alleles.5 The gene for blood type has multiple (> 2) alleles.6 The phenotype for the ABO blood type reflects the types of antibodies produced in the blood stream.7 The phenotype for the ABO blood type reflects the type of carbohydrate groups found on the surface of red blood cells.8 A person with type O blood will have compatibility with blood from a type A donor. Hint: Antibodies attack antigens or foreign molecules that are not naturally produced by the individual.......
Check all that are correct about the inheritance of the ABO blood group in humans:

1 The gene for blood type shows a complete dominance inheritance pattern.
2 The gene for blood type shows an incomplete dominance inheritance pattern.
3 The gene for blood type shows a codominance inheritance pattern.
4 The gene for blood type has two different alleles.
5 The gene for blood type has multiple (> 2) alleles.
6 The phenotype for the ABO blood type reflects the types of antibodies produced in the blood stream.
7 The phenotype for the ABO blood type reflects the type of carbohydrate groups found on the surface of red blood cells.
8 A person with type O blood will have compatibility with blood from a type A donor. Hint: Antibodies attack antigens or foreign molecules that are not naturally produced by the individual.
9 A person with type AB blood will have compatibility with blood from a type O donor. Hint: Antibodies attack antigens or foreign molecules that are not naturally produced by the individual.

True false is fine but reasons for the answers would be awesome!

I think 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9 are the true ones but 1-3 confuse me because it seems like blood exhibits co-dominance (AB) and complete dominance (AO or BO).

Thanks!

1. False; there are two co-dominant alleles for blood type (A or B)
2. False; this is co-dominance. Incomplete dominance is when the traits blend; in blood, if both dominant genes are present, the person will have both traits and be type AB.
3.True
4.False; it has three. Type A and type B are co-dominant; type O is recessive to both.
5.True; see above.
6.True; the opposite antibodies will be present. Type A people will have type B antibodies; type B people have type A antibodies, type O people have both A and B antibodies, and type AB people have neither antibody.
7.False. The blood phenotype reflects the presence or absence of A or B antigens, which are proteins and not carbohydrates.
