Step-by-step solution
ABO blood groups are determined by the gene I (isoagglutinin). There are three alleles, and of this gene. Proteins produced by the and alleles are called antigen and antigen. People with blood group have the antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and antibodies against antigen in their plasma. Persons with blood group B have B antigen on their RBCs, and antibodies against antigen in their plasma. Individuals with blood group have both antigen A and antigen on their RBCs, and no antibodies for either of the antigens in their plasma. Type individuals are without and antigens on their RBCs, but have antibodies for both these antigens in their plasma.
