Blood Type and Inheritance
In blood typing, the gene for Type A and the gene for Type B are co-dominant. The gene for type O is
recessive. Using Punnett Squares determine the possible blood types of the offspring when:
1. Father is type O; Mother is type O
_________%O
_________%B
_________%A
_________%AB
2. Father is type A homozygous; Mother is type B homozygous
_________%O
_________%B
_________%A
_________%AB
3. Father is type A, heterozygous; Mother is type B, heterozygous
_________%O
_________%B
_________%A
_________%AB
