Here's why:
* Codominance means that both alleles in a heterozygous genotype are expressed equally.
* In the ABO blood group system, there are three alleles: A, B, and O.
* Alleles A and B are codominant. This means that if an individual inherits both the A and B alleles (genotype AB), they will express both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, resulting in blood type AB.
