Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A person has A blood type. What is his genotype?
A
IAIA only
B
IAi only
C
could be IAIA or IAi
D
ii only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Individuals with IAIA or IAi have to type A blood, and individuals with IBIB or IBi have type B. IAIB people have both phenotypes because A and B express a special dominance relationship which is known as codominance. So, it means that type A and B parents can have an AB child.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus people with IAIA or IA i have blood group A and individuals having IBIB or IB i genotype have B blood group. Whereas person having genotype IAIB show phenotype AB and individuals with genotype ii have phenotype O [2].

Detailed explanation-3: -The IAi genotype represents the blood group A and IBi represents the blood group B. According to the possible genotypes of the blood group represented in the cross, the blood group of the offspring can either be type A or type B only.

Detailed explanation-4: -The different possible genotypes are AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, and OO. How are blood types related to the six genotypes? A blood test is used to determine whether the A and/or B characteristics are present in a blood sample.

Detailed explanation-5: -The different types of genotypes are-homozygous recessive (pp), homozygous dominant (PP), and heterozygous (Pp). The homozygous dominant and the heterozygous genotypes show the same phenotypes.
