Genetics, blood type gene has two alleles, each allele has genotype A, B or O. The A and B are dominant, and O is recessive. So allele A combined with allele O is type A. Similarly, BO is type B, AA is type A, BB is type B, OO is type O, and AB is typeAB.

If both parents have type A blood, then the alleles could be AA or AO, thus the allele A frequency is 75%, allele O frequency is 25% for both parents. 
So the chance of alleles OO is 25% × 25% = 6.25%, 
alleles AA is 75% × 75% = 56.25%, 
alleles AO is 75% × 25% = 18.75%, 
alleles OA is 25% × 75% = 18.75%.
Since AA, AO and OA are blood type A, and OO is blood type O, thus their child has 6.25% chance to be blood type O and 93.75% chance to be blood type A. 

The +/- is called the rhesus factor, with + being dominant, and - being recessive.
So if both parents are -, the kids are always -, otherwise the kids might be + or -.

Define vaccine and describe two types of vaccines. how do vaccines work to protect the body from disease?
Ivanshal [37]
A vaccine is a substance that supports the body to produce antibodies and offer immunity in contradiction of a disease. A live attenuated vaccine comprises a version of the living microbe that has been destabilized because they are still alive this is the closest thing to an actual infection and will habitually lead the body to have a lifelong immunity after only one or two doses. A killed vaccine is created by killing the illness with chemicals, heat or radiation in which these vaccines are harmless but rouse a weaker immune reaction.
