The blood type is A.
Explanation:
A is a dominant allele or codominant with another allele B.
O is a recessive allele of the corresponding same gene.
In presence of allele A, the glycoprotein formed on the RBC membrane is called antigen A.
Actually O seems to be the absence of a specific glycoprotein on the membrane of the red blood cell.
So AO genotype results in an A type blood group.
