The H and Se gene are located on which chromosome?
Chromosome 19
Which chromosome are the ABO genes located?
Chromosome 9
What gene needs to be expressed in order for the H gene to be expressed?
Z gene
Which antigen needs to be expressed in order for A and B antigens to be expressed?
H antigen
What happens when an individual doesn’t inherit the H antigen?
There will be no antigen expression due to the lack of the H antigen upon which other antigens build on
