Blood Types

The Genetics of Blood Type

Codominance
Both alleles are Dominant. Neither allele for a trait is recessive. They both express themselves in the phenotype. A B Genotype labels are: I I I = blood: A=type A coded protien B=type B coded protien

Phenotype A+ AB
(
( + = Rh factor, protein on cell, Antigen. Will be recognized by immune system as part of body. ) ( - = no Rh factor antigen. If body comes in contact with +, it wont recognize it as part of the body and will reject it )

Genotype
If Immune system doesnt recognize a protein, A or B, itll reject it. A -Rh will not recognize +Rh and reject it.

How can we predict Blood Type inheritance?
Using a Punnett square!

Lets look at possible blood types of the children of a couple whose blood types are AB- and O-.

The Genetics of Blood Type

First we need to determine their genotypes.
Looking at our chart, the genotype for AB- is AB-and the genotype for O- is OO--. We need to FOIL and then draw a Punnett square. From one parent we can get A- or BFrom the other we can only get O-.
