Step-by-step solution

ABO blood groups are determined by the gene I (isoagglutinin). There are three alleles, IA,IBI^A, I^B and IOI^O of this gene. Proteins produced by the IAI^A and IBI^B alleles are called AA antigen and BB antigen. People with blood group AA have the AA antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and antibodies against antigen BB in their plasma. Persons with blood group B have B antigen on their RBCs, and antibodies against AA antigen in their plasma. Individuals with ABA B blood group have both antigen A and antigen BB on their RBCs, and no antibodies for either of the antigens in their plasma. Type OO individuals are without AA and BB antigens on their RBCs, but have antibodies for both these antigens in their plasma.
