Precipitin Test and Genetics of Blood Typing

Front

What is the definition of homozygous dominant?

Back

An individual with two identical dominant alleles for a trait (e.g., AA).

Front

What is the definition of homozygous recessive?

Back

An individual with two identical recessive alleles for a trait (e.g., OO).

Front

What is the definition of heterozygous dominant?

Back

An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a trait (e.g., BO).

Front

What does it mean for a trait to be dominant?

Back

If present, it will appear in the phenotype.

Front

What does it mean for a trait to be recessive?

Back

It will only appear in the phenotype if both alleles are recessive.

Front

What are co-dominant traits?

Back

Both traits will appear in the phenotype when present.

Front

What are the possible blood types in the ABO blood group system?

Back

A, B, AB, and O.

Front

What is the significance of the Precipitin Test?

Back

It is used to determine the presence of specific antibodies in blood.

Front

How is blood type determined genetically?

Back

By the combination of alleles inherited from parents.

Front

What is the genotype for blood type A?

Back

AA or AO.
