1) The document discusses the multiple allele system of ABO blood types, which has 3 alleles - IA, IB, and i.
2) IA and IB are codominant alleles that determine the A and B antigens, while ii is a recessive allele that does not produce any antigens.
3) The different combinations of these alleles determine the 4 blood types: IAIA and IAi produce type A blood; IBIB and IBi produce type B; IAIB produces type AB; and ii produces type O.
