Identify the wrong statement with reference to the gene āIā that controls ABO blood groups.
A person will have only two of the three alleles.
When and are present together, they express the same type of sugar.
Allele āiā does not produce any sugar.
The gene (I) has three alleles.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding the gene 'I' that controls ABO blood groups and identify the incorrect one. Let's evaluate each option:Option 1: A person will have only two of the three alleles. - The ABO blood group system is controlled by a single gene with three alleles: and - Each individual inherits two alleles, one from each parent. - Therefore, this statement is correct.Option 2: When and are present together, they express the same type of sugar. - and are codominant alleles, meaning both express their respective antigens when present together. - produces A antigen (N-acetylgalactosamine), and produces B antigen (galactose). - Therefore, this statement is incorrect as they express different sugars.Option 3: Allele āiā does not produce any sugar. - The allele 'i' is recessive and does not produce any antigen on the red blood cells. - Therefore, this statement is correct.Option 4: The gene (I) has three alleles. - The ABO blood group system is indeed controlled by three alleles: and - Therefore, this statement is correct.Based on the analysis, the incorrect statement is Option 2.
