Study Notes
Dominant vs. Recessive Genes
- Dominant genes always express themselves if present.
- Recessive genes will only express if no dominant gene is present (meaning both genes are recessive).
ABO Blood Group System
- Genes A and B are dominant to gene O.
- If a child receives gene A from one parent and gene O from the other, the child's blood type will be A.
- If a child receives gene B from one parent and gene O from the other, the child's blood type will be B.
- A child will only have blood type O if they receive the gene O from both parents.

Description
This quiz explores the concepts of dominant and recessive genes, particularly focusing on how they influence traits such as blood types in the ABO blood group system. Understand how gene expression depends on the presence or absence of dominant alleles. Test your knowledge on genetic inheritance mechanisms!
