ABO Blood Group System Inheritance

In ABO blood group system, an individual can be blood group A, B, AB or O based on the types of antigens on the surfaces of red blood cells.

A cross between an individual with blood group A and an individual with blood group B

=> A and B are codominant whereas O is recessive
=> For blood group A: IAIA or IAIO
=> For blood group B: IBIB or IBIO
=> For blood group AB: IAIB
=> For blood group O: IOIO

Parent phenotypes:    Blood group A   X   Blood group B
Parent genotypes:                    IAIO      X      IBIO
Gametes:                               IA      IO        IB      IO
F1 genotypes:                    IAIB   IAIO     IBIO   IOIO
F1 phenotypes:                    AB       A          B        O
