What is multiple alleleism? Can a person have three alleles that determine the blood group (according to the AB0 system)? Why?

Multiple allelism is a phenomenon of the existence of a gene in more than two allelic forms. For example, for a gene that defines a person’s blood group, three allelic forms are known: IA, IB, and I0.
Human somatic cells have a diploid (2n) chromosome set. Therefore, a person cannot have simultaneously three alleles that determine the blood group (there are only two of them).
Remember: The process of learning a person lasts a lifetime. The value of the same knowledge for different people may be different, it is determined by their individual characteristics and needs. Therefore, knowledge is always needed at any age and position.
