Question

give the possible genotypes for each of these blood types (these do not require crosses - just write the possible genotypes for each phenotype). type a, type b, type ab, type o.

Answer 1

The possible genotypes for each blood type are as follows: Type A can be IAIA or IAi, Type B can be IBIB or IBi, Type AB is always IAIB, and Type O is always ii.

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible Genotypes for Each Blood Type

• Type A: Genotypes can be either IAIA or IAi
• Type B: Genotypes can be either IBIB or IBi
• Type AB: Genotype is always IAIB
• Type O: Genotype is always ii

The ABO blood types are determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens in the red blood cells. The genotypes represent the combination of alleles responsible for each blood type. For example, a person with type A blood can have either two A alleles (IAIA) or one A allele and one O allele (IAi).
