Transcribed Image Text:Blood Types
Background: The most common blood type classification system is the A-B-O system discovered
by Karl Landsteiner in the early 1900s. There are four blood types in the ABO system: A, B, AB,
and O.
Everybody inherits their blood type from their parents. You receive one gene from your
mother and one from your father, which combine to make your blood genotype. The genes
determine your blood type by causing surface proteins (called agglutinogens) to exist on the
surface of your red blood cells. Look at the following diagram.

There are three different alleles: O, A, and B. If you inherit an O allele it makes no
surface protein, an A allele makes an "A" protein, and a B allele makes a "B" protein. The A
and B alleles are co-dominant (meaning both are dominant), and the O allele is recessive. Just
like other recessive genes, the O allele is masked when paired with an A or a B. Since there are
three different alleles, it means there are six possible genotypes: AA, BB, OO, AB, AO, and BO.
