    Study Notes

    ABO Blood Types

    • Genotype-Phenotype Correlation: AA and AO genotypes correspond to Type A blood, BB and BO genotypes correspond to Type B blood, AB genotype corresponds to Type AB blood, and OO genotype corresponds to Type O blood.

    Blood Type Gene and Alleles

    • The blood type gene is represented by I and has three alleles: IA for A, IB for B, and i for O.

    Homozygous vs Heterozygous

    • Homozygous: A genotype with two identical alleles, e.g., AA or BB.
    • Heterozygous: A genotype with two different alleles, e.g., AO or BO.

    Inheritance Pattern

    • ABO blood types follow both Codominant and Simple Dominant inheritance patterns.
    • A and B alleles are codominant with each other.
    • A and B alleles are both dominant over the O allele.

    Exceptions to Mendel's Laws

    • Incomplete Dominance: When neither allele is fully dominant over the other, resulting in a blended phenotype.
    • Codominance: When both alleles are equally expressed in the phenotype.
    • Multiple Alleles: When a gene has more than two alleles, e.g., three or more options for two alleles.

    Incomplete Dominance

    • Representation: Incomplete dominance is represented by two capital letters, one with an apostrophe (e.g., R and R').
    • Phenotype: The combination of two alleles results in a mixed phenotype.

    Codominance

    • Definition: Codominance occurs when both alleles of a gene are dominant and equally expressed in the phenotype.
    • Representation: Codominance is represented by two capital letters (e.g., B for Brown and W for White).
    • Phenotype: The heterozygous phenotype exhibits both traits equally.

    Examples of Codominance in Animals

    • Speckled: The combination of B (Black) and W (White) alleles results in a speckled phenotype.
    • Genotype-Phenotype Correlation: ww corresponds to White, BB corresponds to Black, and BW corresponds to Speckled.
