Exploring Punnett Squares with Multiple Alleles

This video, part of a genetics series, focuses on applying knowledge of multiple alleles to Punnett squares, using human blood types as a practical example. It explains the medical importance of blood typing, the concept of antigens, and the inheritance patterns of multiple alleles and codominance. The video includes example problems involving Punnett squares to determine possible blood types of offspring from parents with different blood types.

What are the possible genotypes for a person with type A blood?

• ii

• IAIB

• IBIB or IBi

• IAIA or IAi

Can two parents with A and B blood types have a child with O blood type?
