👨👩👧👦 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 (00 and 00) can only have children with blood group 0.
  • When both parents have blood group AB (AB and AB), 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)
    • "Heterozygous": Two different alleles (e.g., A0, AB)
