Vedclass · Answer

(B) The alleles for the $ABO$ blood group system code for specific sugar polymers (antigens) that are present on the surface of the plasma membrane of red blood cells $(RBCs)$.These antigens are determined by the gene $I$,which has three alleles: $I^A$,$I^B$,and $i$.Therefore,the expression of these alleles in the form of antigens occurs on the surface of red blood cells.
