Blood Types and Pedigrees

Dear fellow bloggers,
This week in Mr. Wan's biology class, we learned about blood types and pedigrees.  The four blood types are A, AB, B, and O and are inherited from an offspring's parents.  The blood type O can give blood to any type and is recessive, while AB can receive any type of blood.  This is because O has no antigens and AB has no antibodies.  Pedigrees are phenotypic family trees.  They illustrate the inheritance of a particular gene.
