Question

a,b,o blood grouping in human population exhibits 4 possible phenotype from 6 different genotypes.explain the different mechanism of inheritance envolved in exhibiting the possibility of 4 phenotypes and 6 genotypes?

Answer 1

Human beings have 6 genotypes and 4 blood group phenotypes i.e. A, B, AB and O.One is aware of customary blood groups. Discrete molecules known as agglutinogens are affixed to the exterior of red blood cells. There are two dissimilar sorts of agglutinogens i.e. variety A and variety B. The ABO blood variety grouping system makes use of the existence or lack of these molecules to classify blood into four varieties. One additional rank of specificity is added to blood variety by inspecting the existence or lack of the Rh protein. Every blood variety is either positive i.e. holds the Rh protein or negative i.e. does not hold Rh protein. For instance, an individual, whose blood type is A positive, holds both type A and Rh proteins on the exterior of their red blood cells. Variety A blood cells are shielded with A agglutinogens, variety B have B agglutinogens, variety AB have both A and B, and type O blood have nothing.The A and B antigen molecules on the exterior of red blood cells are crafted by two unlike enzymes which are pre-set by dissimilar varieties, or alleles, of the equivalent gene. The A allele ciphers for an enzyme that creates the A antigen, and the B allele codes for an enzyme that creates the B antigen. A third variety of this gene, the O allele, ciphers for a protein that is not serviceable; it does not make any exterior molecules at all. Every person receives two alleles of the gene, one from mother and the other from father. The grouping of two alleles defines the blood variety of any individual. The ABO blood groups in human beings display illustrations of co-power, dominant-    recessive and various alleles.
