    Gene for blood type O is recessive

    Gene for blood type A and B is dominant

    Gene for blood type AB is neither dominant nor recessive but a form of co-dominance

    Explanation:

    In the ABO blood group,

    A and B are dominant genes, O is recessive genes.

    So the different genotype and its corresponding phenotype is as follows -

    Genotype Phenotype

    AO A

    BO B

    AB AB

    AA A

    BB B

    OO O

    Hence, the two alleles AB occur and express together. Therefore, AB blood group is an example of co-dominance.

    Blood type also varies with the presence of Rh factor. If Rh factor is present, the blood type will represented with a "+" symbol. And if Rh factor is absent, the blood type will be represented by "-"symbol.
