The ABO blood group is one set of blood antigens. There is a separate locus (H) that controls the presentation of these antigens on the cell surface. Individuals who are homozygous, hh, cannot present the antigens of the ABO type (and appear to be O-type).  Consider the following cross: P0: IAi Hh x IBi Hh 1. What is this type of inheritance pattern called? Complete a Punnett square to determine are the phenotypic frequencies of the apparent blood groups among the offspring?
