Introduction: A person’s blood type is an inherited trait governing special marker proteins appear-ing on the surface of their red blood cells. Blood typing is important, because it governs who anindividual can give or receive blood donations from; blood with proteins markers not present in theirown blood will be rejected by an individual’s immune system.There are two separate genes that govern blood type; the ABO gene has two dominant options, Aand B, and a recessive option called O. For example, an individual with AO or AA would presentthe A protein, and an individual with AB will present both the A and B proteins on their blood;an individual with OO has no proteins from this gene. The Rh gene has two options; the dominantoption is called positive (or + for short), while the recessive option is called negative or null (or –for short). For example, an individual with ++ or +– would present the Rh protein on their blood,while an individual with – – would not present the Rh…
