CSEC Biology · January 2009 · Paper 2 · Question 3(b)(i)

The alleles of the ABO blood group in humans show co-dominance. How does this co-dominance differ from incomplete dominance shown in the inheritance of flower colour in Impatiens illustrated in Figure 3?

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
