The basics of blood typing using the abo and rh systems. It covers the presence and absence of antigens on red blood cells, the production of antibodies, and the genetics behind these systems. The document also includes instructions for performing a blood typing test and interpreting the results.

To determine blood types using simulated blood and sera and to determine the possible genotypes and phenotypes of parental crosses.
The presence or absence of specific antigens (proteins) on an individual’s red blood cells determines their blood types. Individuals with the A antigen only have type A blood, and individuals with the B antigen only have type B blood. Individuals with both A and B antigens have type AB blood. The absence of A or B antigens give type O blood.
T H E G E N E T I C S: lA^ – codes for the A antigen lB^ – codes for the B antigen i – codes for no antigen lA^ and lB^ are co-dominant to each other, and both lA^ and lB^ are completely dominant to i.
When bloods of mixed types are mixed, agglutination (CLUMPING) occurs. Agglutination occurs due to antibodies in the blood. Individuals produce antibodies for antigens not present on the blood cells. For example, an individual with type A blood will produce B antibodies, but not A antibodies. We will use this phenomenon to determine blood types using the antibodies in sera.

In addition to the ABO blood typing system there is an Rh blood group system. If the Rh antigen is present on the surface of the red blood cells then the blood is Rh+. If the Rh antigen is not present then the blood is Rh-. The pattern of inheritance that the Rh blood group system follows is complete dominance. Rh+ is dominant and Rh- is recessive.

A. Label each of the four blood typing slide wells W, X, Y, & Z. B. Place 3 drops of the “Person W” blood in each of the wells on the W slide. Similarly place 3 drops of the X, Y, & Z on their respective slides. C. Locate the Anti-A well on the “W” slide. Add 3 drops of Anti-A sera and stir the mixture with a toothpick. Add this Anti-A sera to the Anti-A wells on the X, Y, & Z slides. Stir each of these mixtures with a fresh toothpick to avoid cross contamination. D. Locate the Anti-B well on the “W” slide. Add 3 drops of Anti-B sera and stir the mixture with a toothpick. Add this Anti-B sera to the Anti-B wells on the X, Y, & Z slides. Stir each of these mixtures with a fresh toothpick to avoid cross contamination. E. Locate the Anti-Rh well on the “W” slide. Add 3 drops of Anti-Rh sera and stir the mixture with a toothpick. Add this Anti-Rh sera to the Anti-Rh wells on the X, Y, & Z slides. Stir each of these mixtures with a fresh toothpick to avoid cross contamination. F. Observe each well against a white paper background looking for any clumping. G. Record the results on the following data table as positive(+) if clumping occurs or negative (-) if NO clumping occurs.

Person X’s blood type is O-. No antigens are present.
Person Y’s blood type is A+. Person Y has B antibodies
No, the B allele would have to be inherited from one of the parents. The type A father does not have a B allele to pass to his child.
