A person with blood group A produces antibodies against B. A person with blood group B produces antibodies against A. A person with blood group AB produces no antibodies. How can you explain this?

a. A and B alleles are co-dominant. Therefore, both A and B carbohydrates are present on the cell.

b. A is incompletely dominant over B. Both A and B carbohydrates are present on the cell.

c. A and B alleles are co-dominant. Half the cells have only A, and other half have only B.
