Iᴬ i Iᴮ i Iᴬ Iᴮ Iᴮ i Iᴬ i i i

Cross between Iᴬ i (type A) and Iᴮ i (type B). What blood types can their children have?

  • A

    Only AB — codominance forces both antigens

  • B

    Only A and B — only dominant alleles show (1:1)

  • C

    Only O — both parents pass the i allele

  • D

    A, B, AB, and O — all four are possible (1:1:1:1)
