Human Blood Type Inheritance

1. If two people with blood type A, both with the AO genotype, the proportion of their children that would be expected to have blood type O would be 25%. (See chart) The underlying principles that allowed me to answer this question could potentially be relevant to me personally because I also have a certain blood type. My blood type was determined by my two parents genotype. This is what allows us to find out what the Mendelian traits are in a couple - Such as if the man has Huntingtins and the female

evolving and producing more information as research leads to more evidence of what exactly is happening in our bodies at the molecular level. The idea of genetics and DNA is still fairly young and much has yet to be discovered. When Mendel discovered inheritance traits, he had to physically visualize the changes of the pea plants. With the technology available today, we are capable of rendering 3D depictions of DNA and proteins with the click of a button on our computer. Mendel’s pea plant discovery was

Humans can only have one of the following four types of blood: A, B, AB, or O. A and B are codominant alleles, and O is a recessive allele. The type of blood a person inherits depends on the blood type of their parents. Humans get one allele from their mom and one allele from their dad. The presence or absence of certain types of antibodies and antigens determines the different blood types. People have different types and combinations of antibodies and antigens. The goal of this investigation was

Dihybrid Inheritance GREGOR MENDEL Gregor Johann Mendel Moravian scientist who become known as the founder of the modern science of genetics. He conducted pea plant experiments between 1856 and 1863 through which he established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. Mendel’s Law of Inheritance: This law involves inheritance of biological features. In 1915 Mendel 's theories were integrated with the Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory of inheritance by Thomas

the person’s blood clots ineffectively causing spontaneous or injury induced unnaturally rapid internal and external bleeds. This is a result of a severe lack of various clotting factors, depending on type, in the blood. A clotting factor is a protein in blood that controls bleeding. Haemophilia is described as being of sex-linked inheritance and is passed down through the family genes. There are three types of Haemophilia; Haemophilia A, B and C. Haemophilia A is the most common type and caused when

genome”(Mednet, 2014). Usually, the abnormality can be caused by a small mutation in the DNA gene or an “entire set of chromosomes”. There are four different types of inheritance for genetic disease, which are: Single Gene Inheritance, Multifactorial inheritance, Chromosomal Abnormalities, and Mitochondrial Inheritance. Some examples of the single gene inheritance would include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington’s disease all of which mutations have occurred in a single gene in the DNA. “Cystic

The Human Heart The human heart is one of the most important organs in our bodies. However, it is basically a muscular structure that pumps blood. In this report, there will be information on the size, structure, function, and diseases/health problems of the human heart. The size of the human heart varies due to factors such as gender, size of the body, inheritance, and age. However, a normal size of a person’s heart is about the same size as his/her clenched fist (9cmx13cm), and has a mass between

Several screening techniques are used to determine the location of a disease causing gene therefore it is important for families to understand the process of genetic screening. All patients will be given a simple explanation on the process of inheritance and how 50% of each parent’s DNA is combined to make up the offspring’s DNA as well as an explanation as to why DNA segments are affected by mutations in genetic codes. The use of counselling is other effective technique used in genetic screening

The process of nondisjunction can occur in human development during phases in meiosis and mitosis. The irregularity results in an abnormal amount of chromosomes in the produced cells and causes alterations in those who are affected. Nondisjunctional consequences can be seen in these five examples of genetic inheritance conditions discussed in this paper: Down syndrome, Patau’s syndrome, Edward’s syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Turner’s syndrome. The Mendelian principles of genetics developed
