1 (ii), (iii) and (v)  
2 (i), (ii) and (iii)  
3 (ii), (iv) and (v)  
4 (i), (iii) and (v)  

Ans.

(2) 

ABO blood group system in human beings is an example of dominance, co-dominance and multiple allelism.
I I, I I or i - Alleles show dominant-recessive relationship.
I I - Co-dominance is a phenomenon in which alleles of a gene do not show dominant recessive relationship and express themselves independently when present together.

I, I, I or i - More than two alternate forms of a gene present on the same locus are called as multiple alleles and the mode of inheritance in the alleles is called multiple allelism.
