1. Each person has two copies of this gene, one inherited from his/her mother and the other
inherited from his/her father. Complete the following table to relate genotypes to blood types.
Genotype
This person's cells make:
Blood Type
I A I A
the version of the enzyme
that puts type A carbohydrate
molecules on the surface of
red blood cells.
A
i i
the inactive protein that
doesn’t put either type A or
type B carbohydrate
molecules on the surface of
red blood cells.
O
I A i
both the version of the
enzyme that puts type A
carbohydrate molecules on
the surface of red blood cells
and the inactive protein
A
2. In a person with the I A i genotype, which allele is dominant, I A or i? Explain your reasoning.
In human blood type genetics, there are three main alleles that determine blood type: I^A, I^B,
and i. These alleles determine the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red
blood cells. The I^A and I^B alleles are dominant to the i allele.
If a person has the genotype I^Ai, it means they have one allele for the A blood type antigen
(I^A) and one allele for the absence of antigen (i). In this case, the I^A allele is dominant, which
means it will be expressed, and the A antigen will be present on the surface of their red blood
cells. The i allele is recessive, so it will not be expressed in the presence of a dominant I^A
allele.
So, in a person with the I^Ai genotype, the I^A allele is dominant over the i allele, and their blood
type will be type A.
3. For the genotypes listed below, which type(s) of enzyme would this person's cells make?
What blood type would the person have?

4. Which of the genotypes listed above results in a blood type that provides clear evidence of
codominance? Explain your reasoning.
Among the genotypes listed, the genotype I^A I^B (Type AB blood) provides clear evidence of
codominance. Codominance is a genetic phenomenon in which both alleles in a heterozygous
individual are fully expressed, and neither one is dominant or recessive. In the context of the
ABO blood group system, this means that individuals with the I^A I^B genotype express both the
A antigen and the B antigen on the surface of their red blood cells.
Here's the reasoning for why I^A I^B (Type AB) demonstrates codominance:
- I^A is the allele for the A blood type antigen (N-acetylgalactosamine).
- I^B is the allele for the B blood type antigen (galactose).
When an individual has the I^A I^B genotype, one allele provides instructions for the production
of the A antigen, and the other allele provides instructions for the production of the B antigen. As
a result, both antigens are expressed simultaneously on the surface of red blood cells. This is in
contrast to other genotypes like I^A I^A or I^B I^B, where only one type of antigen is produced.
In the case of I^A I^B, neither antigen is dominant over the other, and they are both fully
expressed, demonstrating codominance.

A person with type A blood makes anti-B antibodies. Type A individuals have A antigens on the
surface of their blood cells. To prevent the immune system from attacking its own blood cells,
the body naturally produces antibodies against the antigens that it does not possess. In the
case of blood type A, the body produces anti-B antibodies. These antibodies recognize and
target B antigens, which are not present on the person's own red blood cells. This natural
immune response helps maintain the integrity and functionality of the immune system.

If you have type A
blood, you have:
type A antigens on
the surface of your
red blood cells and
anti-B antibodies in
your blood.
If you have type B
blood, you have:
type B antigens on
the surface of your
red blood cells and
anti-A Antibodies in
your blood.
If you have type AB
blood, you have:
both type A and type
B antigens on the
surface of your red
blood cells and
neither anti-A nor
If you have type O
blood, you have:
neither type of
antigen on the
surface of your red
blood cells and both
A and B antibodies in

I. Blood Typing
Red blood cells are coated in antigens made of glycolipids and glycoproteins. The composition of
these molecules is determined by genetics, which have evolved over time. The two most well-known blood
groups are the ABO and Rh systems. The surface antigens in the ABO blood group are glycolipids, called
antigen A and antigen B. People with blood type A have antigen A, those with blood type B have antigen
B, those with blood type AB have both antigens, and people with blood type O have neither antigen.
Antibodies called agglutinogens are found in the blood plasma and react with the A or B antigens, if the
two are mixed. When type A and type B blood are combined, agglutination (clumping) of the blood occurs
because of antibodies in the plasma that bind with the opposing antigen; this causes clots that coagulate
in the kidney causing kidney failure. Type O blood has neither A or B antigens, and therefore, type O blood
can be given to all blood types. Type O negative blood is…

An MLS student on her clinical rotation is running an immunofixation electrophoresis procedure on a 49 yo. male. She notes something peculiar in the total serum protein lane or in some systems this is called the SPE lane. In this lane, there is no band where albumin should be. All of the other bands are present. She checks the patient’s chemistry profile to find that his serum albumin is in the normal range.1. Is albumin an anion or cation?2. Which direction should albumin move during electrophoresis, toward the anode or cathode?3. What possible reason or reasons would cause the albumin not to show up on the gel?4. Should the test be repeated and if so how should it be done differently?5. Is it possible that the patient’s Iiver does not produce albumin due to chronic liver disease and that is why it did not show up on the SPE?

C5. A human gene called the β-globin gene encodes a polypeptide that functions as a subunit of the protein known as hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is found within red blood cells; it carries oxygen. In human populations, the β-globin gene can be found as the common allele called the HbA allele, and it can also be found as the HbS allele. Individuals who have two copies of the HbS allele have the disease called sickle cell disease.

This is a blank question. Thank you in advance,
Bloom Syndrome
Bloom syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. It is characterized by short stature and a long narrow face with prominent nose and ears. There is also increased sensitivity to light. People who have the disorder often develop rashes on their face, forearms, and hands when they have been exposed to the sun. In addition, these people often suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and have a higher chance of developing cancer.
The cause of this genetic disorder is a mutation in the BLM gene located on chromosome 15. The immediate effect of this mutation is that there is a defect in the functioning of the DNA helicase enzyme.
What would be the effect of this mutation on DNA replication? What stage of the cell cycle would be most affected?
