. The four blood groups of humans are determined by combination of different alleles. The alleles IA for A group, IB for B blood group are both dominant. Therefore person with alleles IA and IB have the blood group AB as both the genes IA and IB are co-dominant. The gene io when homozygous (io io) gives the blood group O. Genotype and phenotype of blood groups in humans are shown in table
