In familial hypercholesterolemia, homozygous people with the abnormal gene have extremely high cholesterol, while heterozygous people have somewhat high cholesterol.  This type of inheritance is called

A) complete dominance.
B) incomplete dominance.
C) multiple alleles.
D) codominance.
E) sex-linked inheritance.
