An individual's blood type is genetically determined. This means that the type of blood you have comes from your mother or father. If your parents have different blood types, you would inherit the more dominant type. However, types A and B are considered co-dominate. Therefore, if one of your parents is Type A and the other is Type B, it is likely that you would have Type AB blood.

no because the antibodies in type A blood differ from the ones in type B blood so it would recognize the different blood as a threat and eliminate it
Blood type in humans is determined by a single gene that has multiple alleles?
Each person has two alleles for their blood type, one dominant and one recessive. Except for type AB blood where the alleles are co-dominant. The allele for O blood is always recessive when paired with either an A or B allele.
