Solution

The ABO blood groups in humans

Explanation:

Codominance is a genetic scenario where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in offspring with a phenotype that shows both traits side by side. In the ABO blood group system, both IA and IB alleles are codominant, so a person with genotype IAIB expresses both A and B antigens, showing blood group AB.
