However, there are three alleles that control blood types: IA, IB, and i. Alleles IA and IB are codominant, and the allele "i" is recessive. What are the two genotypes for type A blood? What are the two genotypes for type B blood? What is the one genotype for type AB blood? What is the one genotype for type O blood? 1.arrow_forwardWhat is phenotype?
