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.
• Genotype labels are: I I• I = blood: A=type A coded protien
B=type B coded protien

( + = 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 won’t recognize it as part of the body and will reject it )

If Immune system doesn’t recognize a protein, A or B, it’ll reject it.A -Rh will not recognize +Rh and reject it.

How can we predict Blood Type inheritance?
Using a Punnett square!
Let’s 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 B-From the other we can only get O-.
