Blood typing, genetics, punnet squares, monohybrid/dihybrid crosses
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Incomplete dominance | Neither allele is dominant or recessive towards the other, resulting in an intermediate form of both parent alleles. (RR=red, WW=white, cross results in RW=pink) |
| Codominance | Both genes are expressed simultaneously, with part of both of the parent alleles present. |
| Type A blood includes genotypes: | AA or AO |
| A and B are ___ over O, but A and B are ___ over each other. | Dominant; not dominant |
| Because neither A nor B are dominant over each other, they are considered ___. | Codominant |
| If type A was crossed with type O, you would need to complete ___ crosses in order to find the possible offspring of both parts of type A (AA and AO) | 2 |
| Antigen (agglutinogens) | Proteins found on the surface of the RBC; blood type based on presence/absence of these; identified on diagrams by a circled letter |
| Antibodies (agglutinins) | Present in the blood stream; used to protect you; builds up after birth; attach to foreign antigens (proteins that don't belong) |
| Type A blood produces ___ antigen. | A |
| Type B blood produces ___ antigen. | B |
| Type AB blood produces ___ antigen. | AB |
| Type O blood produces ___ antigen. | No (no antigens present) |
| Type A blood produces ___ antibodies. | B |
| Type B blood produces ___ antibodies. | A |
| Type AB blood produces ___ antibodies. | None (universal recipient) |
| Type O blood produces ___ antibodies. | A, B |
| Type A blood can receive type ___ blood. | A, O |
| Type B blood can receive type ___ blood. | B, O |
| Type AB blood can receive type ___ blood. | Any type (AB, A, B, O) |
| Type O blood can receive type ___ blood. | O (universal donor) |
| What is Rh? | Rh is an antigen that determines positive or negative blood types. |
| If the RBC has the Rh antigen, then the blood type is ___. | Positive |
| If the RBC does not have the Rh antigen, then the blood type is ___. | Negative |
