👨👩👧👦 Blood Group Inheritance in the Family
-
The blood groups of children can be determined precisely based on the parents’ alleles. There are some interesting possibilities and also limitations.
-
Two parents with blood group
0(00and00) can only have children with blood group0. -
When both parents have blood group
AB(ABandAB), their children can only have blood groups A, B, or AB, but never 0. -
Inheritance follows fixed rules and can be clearly illustrated with the Punnett squares.

Important terms:
-
- "Homozygous": Two identical alleles (e.g., AA, 00)
