Hence, the correct answer is D, "0%".

The question focuses on the concept of genetic inheritance as illustrated by the ABO blood group system.

The ABO system is characterized by multiple alleles, three to be exact (A, B, and O), demonstrating the principle of multiple allelism.

As a result, the correct answer is A, "Multiple allelism".

This question pertains to the concept of genetic mapping and the terms associated with it.

The terminology for an ordered list of genetic loci along a particular chromosome is a "genetic map" or a "linkage map".

Therefore, the correct response is D, "Both B & C".

This question explores the principles of Mendelian genetics, specifically focusing on monohybrid crosses and their resulting genotypic ratios.

In the second generation (F2) of a monohybrid cross, the expected genotypic ratio is 1:2:1.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, "1:2:1".
