The genotype of a person with normal red blood cells is usually AA, where both copies of the beta-globin gene are normal. This results in the production of normal hemoglobin and red blood cells.
The blood test is called a hemoglobin electrophoresis test, which is used to determine an individual's hemoglobin genotype. A result of 'AA' indicates normal hemoglobin, 'AS' indicates sickle cell trait (carrier), and 'SS' indicates sickle cell disease.
Yes, a bone marrow transplant can change a person's blood type. The new blood cells produced by the transplanted marrow will carry the donor's blood type.
Yes, a bone marrow transplant can result in a change in blood type because the new bone marrow cells will produce blood cells with the donor's blood type.

No, but a bone marrow transplant would change your blood type.
A bone marrow transplant can change a person's blood type to that of the donor's. This is because the bone marrow produces blood cells, including red blood cells that determine blood type. After a transplant, the new bone marrow starts producing blood cells with the donor's blood type.

No, white blood cells do not contain hemoglobin; red blood cells contain hemoglobin (and it is the hemoglobin that gives them their red color).
No, but a bone marrow transplant would change your blood type.
Oxygen in the blood is transported by hemoglobin.
The cells that carry hemoglobin are red blood cells. Their scientific name is erythrocytes.
