Blood types Blood types are determined by the presence or absence of three antigens: A antigen, B antigen, and an antigen called the Rh factor. The resulting blood types are classified as follows: type A if the A antigen is present type B if the B antigen is present type AB if both the A and B antigens are present type 0 if neither the A nor the B antigen is present These types are further classified as Rh-positive if the Rh-factor antigen is present and Rh-negative otherwise. Draw a Venn diagram that illustrates this classification scheme. Identify the blood type determined by each region of the Venn diagram (such as A + to indicate type A , Rh-positive). Use Google or another source to find what percentage of the U.S. population has each blood type.

Solution Summary: The author explains the Venn diagram of the blood types classification scheme.
Each of us has an ABO blood type. We get this blood type by inheriting two alleles-one from our
mother and one from our father. Each of these alleles can be A, B, or O and the combination of the
two that we inherit determines our blood type. The table below explains the combinations of
alleles and the blood types those combinations produce.
Blood Type
Alleles Inherited
A and A
A and B
A and O
B and B
B and O
O and O
A
AB
A
B
B
O
Harper has alleles A and O (therefore blood type A) and Taylor has alleles A and B (therefore blood
type AB). On your own paper, fill in the chart of the possible combinations of alleles that their
children could inherit:
allele from
Taylor
A
B
allele from Harper
A
O
Then list the possible blood types their children can have and the probabilities of each type.
