If two persons with 'AB' blood group marry and have a sufficiently large number of children, these children could be classified as 'A' blood group: 'AB' blood group: 'B'blood group in a 1:2:1 ratio. The modern technique of protein electrophoresis reveals the presence of both' A' and 'B' type proteins in 'AB' blood group individuals. This is an example of:
