A man with blood group A marries a woman with blood group O and their daughter has blood group O. Is this information enough to tell you which of the traits-blood group A or 0 -is dominant? Why or why not?
Case 1: Man with blood group A married a woman with blood group B. Blood group for man can be expressed by dominant genotype IAIA or IAIO and blood group O for woman is expressed by recessive genotype IOIO. The daughter will have O blood group type as a result of this IOIO inheritance of recessive traits from mother and father.
Case 2: Blood group A in father if has recessive genotype IAIA and mother has dominant genotype IAIO or IOIO. The daughter will have O blood type as a result of inheritance of dominant allele IO from mother and recessive allele IA from father.
Blood group A is expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous condition but Blood group O is expressed in recessive condition.
