Every human can only give one of its two blood alleles to its offspring due to __meiosis__ (sperm and eggs are haploid- containing only 1/2 of the 46 chromosomes/alleles). For example, a human with genotype AB could give either an A allele or a B allele to its offspring. A human with genotype AO could give either the A allele or the O allele to its offspring.=====

Another way that genetics can be studied is by using a punnett square to predict the blood type of an offspring of two parents. Examine the punnett square below.
