Question

The I gene which encodes for the blood group is a code for a sugar polymer.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question during an interview for a job.

I would like to ask this question from Inheritance Principles topic in division Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

The best I can explain: The I gene is responsible for the blood group. In a complex pathway, the allele present at the locus of I gene determines the nature of the sugar polymer expressed by the RBCs. Thus indirectly, it codes for the sugar polymer.
