Multiple Alleles – Blood Type
• Blood Types - Multiple Alleles and Co-dominance• In humans, there are four blood types
(phenotypes): A, B, AB, and O • Blood type is controlled by three alleles. A, B, O • O is recessive, two O alleles must be present for
the person to have type O blood • A and B are co-dominant. If a person receives an
A allele and a B allele, their blood type is type AB • Crosses involving blood type often use an I to
denote the alleles - see chart.
Rh (Rhesus) Factor
• Simple Dominance Trait of an additional RBC surface antigen
• R = Produces the protein• r = does not produce the protein• Rh+ = RR & Rr• Rh- = rr
