Heredity and Evolution

NCERT In Text

A man with blood group A marries a woman with blood group O and their daughter has blood group O. Is this information enough to tell you which of the traits-blood group A or O- is dominant? Why or why not?

No. This information is not sufficient to determine which of the traits - blood group A or O - is dominant. This is because we do not know about the blood group of all the progeny.

Blood group A can be genotypically AA or AO. Hence, the information is incomplete to draw any such conclusion.
