Blood type in humans is an example of a trait that has multiple alleles. The alleles for type A blood and type B blood are codominant, and type O blood is recessive to both type A and type B. If a girl with type AB blood has a brother with type O blood and a sister with type B blood, which of the following genotypes could it be possible for their parents to have?
Anand J.
Blood type is inherited by multiple alleles; this means that more than two genes code for this trait. The genes involved are the A, B, and O genes. The A and B genes are co-dominant, meaning that they are both expressed if present. Both the A and B genes are dominant over the O gene. Therefore, if someone has type O blood, then they have two O genes. A woman with type A blood marries a man with type B blood. They have a child with type O blood. What are the genotypes of the parents? AA and BB AO and BB AO and BO AA and BO OO and OO
Adi S.
A person has blood type A, and the genotype AO. This indicates that A is recessive B is recessive AB is recessive O is recessive A person with blood type O has the genotype AB AO BO OO
