Both fit the 'dominant-recessive' model, for example, the allele for brown hair will always be expressed over the one for blonde hair, but obviously it is not as simple as that. However, in blood types, codominance (where some alleles, in this case those for groups A and B, are as dominant as each other, therefore when both are selected, BOTH are expressed, as opposed to one being expressed) occurs.
(N.B. - an allele is a particular version of a gene)

What are the two types of inheritance involved with blood types?
polygenic inheritanceQ: What type of inheritance is blood type?A: multiple allelesOf all the blood types that hematologists concern themselves with, most people worry about the ABO type. The inheritance for the ABO blood type is codominant, as a parent with A type and a parent with B type can give birth to a child with AB type.
Blood types A B AB and O are the result of what inheritance?
Blood types are determined by specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which are inherited from parents. ABO blood group is determined by a person's genotypes at the ABO locus on chromosome 9. The inheritance of blood types follows Mendelian genetics, with the A, B, and O alleles determining the blood type.
Which two terms best describe the inheritance of human blood types?
codominance and multiple alleles
What is the likelihood of a child's blood type being determined by the blood types of their parents?
The likelihood of a child's blood type being determined by the blood types of their parents is high, as blood type inheritance follows specific patterns based on the parents' blood types.
What are the three colors of your blood?
The three main types of blood cells are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which gives blood its red color. White blood cells help fight infection, and platelets are involved in blood clotting.
How can you determine possible blood types of offspring?
You can check your future offsprings blood type using an inheritance chart. If both you and your partner have A blood, then there is a great chance that the child will have A blood as well.
Does hybrid inheritance consist of ANY two types of inheritance?
There are only two types of inheritance to begin with: single inheritance and multiple inheritance. Since they are mutually exclusive there is no such thing as hybrid inheritance.
What are two types of lipoproteins involved in the transport of cholesterol in the blood?
waris
Different types of inheritances?
Single Inheritance Multiple Inheritance Multilevel Inheritance
What is the maximum number of different blood types the children of a man with blood type a and a woman with blood type could have?
The maximum number of different blood types the children could have is four: A, B, AB, and O. Each parent can pass on a different allele to their offspring, resulting in a combination of blood types depending on the inheritance pattern.
What are the two terms best describe the inheritance of human blood types?
The two terms that best describe the inheritance of human blood types are "co-dominance" and "multiple alleles." Co-dominance refers to the expression of both alleles in a heterozygous individual, as seen in the AB blood type where both A and B antigens are present. Multiple alleles indicate that there are more than two alleles for a genetic trait, as in the ABO blood group system, which includes A, B, AB, and O types.
What is blood type inheritance and how do we record it?
All blood types are catorgorized by a single gene, and two of three allels in that gene. First start a chart with your blood type, then record all the possible combinations for that type.
