Presence of more than ti alle 0a fo o gahe is known as multiple allelism. Multiple alleles are soa on the same locy fonvologous EriDissomes Multiple alleles can be detected only in a population. Awell known example to explain multiple alleles in human beings is ABO blood type. Landsteiner discovered ABO system of blood groups. The fourth group AB was discovereg by de Castello and Steini. S of Bernstein showed that these groups are controlled by 3 alleles — 14, IP and I°/i, These alleles are autosomal and follow Mendelian pattern of inheritance. The alleles |* and I® produce a slightly different form of the sugar while I° doesn't Produce any sugar Because humans are diploid organism, each person possesses any two of the three | gene alleles, |A and I are completely dominant over I°, but when IA and I8 are present together they both express their own types of sugar thus, behaving as codominant alleles.
