[TheUnknown 39]

[Bad furday 57]

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

Dude. The UN Secretary-General is named Ban-Ki Moon. His first name sounds like a Star Wars name. That's awesome.

[Andy 60]

That makes you common. What type did you think that you were?

[TheUnknown 39]

I thought I was B+.

And I thought the o gene was recessive. How can it be the most common?

[Princess 35]

O is recessive, however, there are three alleles for ABO type, A, B and O. We assume that most people are heterozygous for A and B, thus are a combination of AO and BO, since AB is the rarest blood type. A and B are codominant while they always dominate over O, now assume that mom and dad are AO and BO, you can have a child who is AO, BO, OO or AB. And say on parent is OO and one is BO, you can only get B or O types out of that mating. A+ and O+ are the two most common blood types

Most common for all humans or just in the United States?

All I saw there was "Blah blah blah blood type blah blah something about sex."

[Andy 60]

You've been talking to Furday too much. :p

[Princess 35]

Most common for all humans or just in the United States?

All humans, however it can vary with region. I think it's something around 45% and 40% for the two blood types. For example, there's a region in Bombay that has what's called the Bombay Phenotype and those people can't even take type O blood, they have to have blood of the Bombay Phenotype it's like little o or something like that

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

now THAT's weird.

[Bad furday 57]

*Isn't from Bombay* :p

I've read (on the incredibly reliable Wikipedia!) that there are actually several different identifying factors for blood beyond Rh factor and the blood blood cell thing.

[Andy 60]

Wikipedia isn't as unreliable as everyone likes to make out.

I still prefer official sources. :p
