p. 320 Analyzing Data 1, 2, 3, 4 3. Which blood type can be used for transfusion into the largest percentage of individuals? Which type has the smallest percentage of possible donors available? 3. O- can be used for 100% of individuals but AB+ can only be used for 4%. 4. Could a person with O+ blood have two parents with O- blood? Could that person have a daughter with AB+ blood? Explain your answers. 4. No, a person with O+ blood could not have two parents with O- blood because both parents would be homozygous recessive for the Rh factor. They do not have any Rh+ alleles to pass on. This person could not have an AB+ daughter because a person with O+ blood only has O alleles to pass on.
