Understanding Human Blood Groups and Genetics
Human blood groups are determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens and antibodies. The ABO system categorizes blood into four types (A, B, AB, O), while the Rh factor (D antigen) determines whether blood is RhD positive or negative. Blood group antigens are crucial for safe transfusio

Understanding Dominance in Genetics: The Role of Alleles and Phenotypes
Dominance in genetics refers to the interaction of alleles at the same gene locus. Complete dominance occurs when one allele masks the effect of another in a heterozygous genotype, leading to a phenotype indistinguishable from the dominant homozygote. This concept is crucial for predicting genetic o
