Concept explainers
To determine: The reasons for a man having genotype IAIA and his wife having genotype IBIB can donate blood to their son.
Introduction: The blood group of an individual is determined by the presence of a certain kind of antigen on the surface of blood cells. A, B, AB, and O are the four major blood groups found in human beings. The determination of the blood type of an individual is essential before the process of blood transfusion.
