    The ABO bloodtyping system classifies antigens found on blood cell surfaces into three families: A, B, and O.

    The alleles for A and B are dominant; the allele that codes for Type O is recessive.

    So, if the parents were AB and OO, first generation offspring could be: AO, AO, BO, BO. Since O is recessive, there is a 1:2 chance offspring will be Type A, and a 1:2 chance they will be Type B.
