Blood Type


I)                    Read the following information on this website to answer the following questions:

1.       Human blood type is determined by                                                        alleles.

2.       Define codominant alleles.                                                                                                                         

3.       The gene for blood type has how many alleles?                                                                                

4.       What are the 3 alleles for blood type?                                                                                                   


II)                  Click on “Blood Type Genotype” at the bottom of website (http://www.biology.arizona.edu/human_bio/problem_sets/blood_types/genotypes.html)

NOTE:

·         The allele for Blood Type A is co dominant to allele for Blood Type B.  If you inherit allele A from Mom and Allele B from dad, then the blood type of the child is AB.

·         “O” Allele is always recessive to allele A and allele B for blood type.


5.       If you are Type A blood, what are the possible genotypes?

6.       If you are Type B blood, what are the possible genotypes?

7.       If you are Type AB blood, what are the possible genotypes?

8.       If you are Type O blood, what are the possible genotypes?


III)                Go to the following website to answer the questions below:

1.       Read the information and summarize each section of the reading into summary statements.


2.       Complete the following chart:
