      Blood types are controlled by multiple alleles. This means that a person possessing both A and B alleles as their genotype, has AB blood because both alleles are expressed in the phenotype. The O allele however, is recessive to both the A and B allele.

      Dear Charo
      Human blood is divided into one of four main blood types (A, B, AB, and O) and are based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on red blood cells called Rhesus (+ or -)
      if u give O blood type A or B, then u get agglutination of clot and thats easy death
