The AB blood type is characterized by the presence of both A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The genotype for individuals with AB blood type is heterozygous, meaning they have two different alleles for the ABO blood group gene. Specifically, the genotype is:
- I^A I^B
In this notation, I^A represents the allele for the A antigen, and I^B represents the allele for the B antigen. Individuals with this genotype express both A and B antigens, resulting in the AB blood type.
- I^A I^B
In this notation, I^A represents the allele for the A antigen, and I^B represents the allele for the B antigen. Individuals with this genotype express both A and B antigens, resulting in the AB blood type.
