Final answer:

Traits such as widow's peak, height, skin color, and blood type are controlled by multiple genes or alleles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple genes control traits such as widow's peak, height, skin color, and blood type. Widow's peak and height are controlled by multiple genes, while skin color and blood type are determined by multiple alleles of a single gene.

For blood type AB, the alleles for blood type A and B are codominant, meaning both alleles are expressed equally. This results in an individual having type AB blood.

Having multiple alleles for blood type, such as the ia, ib, and i alleles, is an example of multiple alleles as it produces different blood types in the population.
