blood type A.... because A alleles are dominant whereas O alleles are recessive. Hence, A alleles will express themselves more causing the blood type of the individual to be blood type A.

Answer:

The blood group of an individual with an o allele and an allele for blood group is A blood group.

Explanation:

Blood group A has two A alleles. Alleles of A blood group is dominant allele so if a person has only one copy of the allele with a recessive allele of O blood group, is enough to dominate and the blood group of the person would be A blood group.

Alleles of the O blood group are recessive in nature if present with other blood groups. For O blood group person must have both alleles of O blood group.

Thus, the Blood group of individual with an o allele and A allele for blood group is A blood group.
