can you help please? c. no anemia and blood type A or B? 2. In humans, thalassemia shows incomplete dominance; heterozygotes exhibit a mild form ofthe disease (thalassemia minor) and homozygotes, a much more severe form (thalassemiamajor). The inheritance of the ABO blood group system exhibits both complete dominance(alleles IA and 1B are dominant to allele i) and codominance (alleles IA and IB). Both members of acouple have thalassemia minor. The husband has blood type A; his mother has blood type O.The wife has blood type AB. What is the probability that they will have a child with:A. thalassemia minor and blood type B?b. thalassemia major and blood type AB?

Let major thallesemia be denoted as tt and minor thallesemia be denoted as Tt. The couple has minor…

2. In humans, thalassemia shows incomplete dominance; heterozygotes exhibit a mild form of the disease (thalassemia minor) and homozygotes, a much more severe form (thalassemia major). The inheritance of the ABO blood group system exhibits both complete dominance (alleles IA and |B are dominant to allele i) and codominance (alleles IA and IB). Both members of a couple have thalassemia minor. The husband has blood type A; his mother has blood type O. The wife has blood type AB. What is the probability that they will have a child with: A. thalassemia minor and blood type B? b. thalassemia maior and blood type AB?

4.) A man and a woman have a child. The father is blood type A, and one of his parents was blood type A and the other was blood type O. The mother is blood type B, and one of her parents was blood type B, the other type O. Both the father and the mother are carriers of the Bombay allele. (Neither of the type-O grandparents were type O because of the Bombay allele – they had the regular type O genotype.) WhataretheoddsthattheirbabywillhavebloodtypeO?

3. A couple just had a baby, who has type-O blood. Upon learning the baby’s blood type, the father becomesinfuriated and accuses the mother of cheating on him. The mother has type-A blood and the father has type-Bblood. Knowing that the allele for type-O is recessive, answer the following questions.a. What is the relationship between the IA, IB, and i alleles?b. Is the father right? Or is he falsely accusing the mother? Explain. Include the genotypes of the parentsand the genotypes of their potential children.
2. The common grandfather of two first cousins has hereditary hemochromatosis, a recessive condition causing an abnormal buildup of iron in the body. Neither ofthe cousins has the disease nor do any of their relatives.a. If the first cousins had a child, what is the chancethat the child would have hemochromatosis?Assume that the unrelated, unaffected parents ofthe cousins are not carriers.b. How would your calculation change if you knewthat 1 out of every 10 unaffected people in the population (including the unrelated parents of thesecousins) was a carrier for hemochromatosis?
4. The inheritance of coat colour in cattle controlled by multiple alleles with a dominance hierarchy as follows: S > sh > sc > s. The S allele produces a white band all over the cattle’s body known as ‘Dutch band’, the sh allele produces spots on the skin known as ‘Hereford’, the sc allele produces solid colour, and the s allele produces ‘Holstein’ spots. Homozygous ‘Dutch band’ males are cross to ‘Holstein’ females. The F1 females are crossed to ‘Hereford’ males of the shsc genotype. With the aid of genetic diagram, determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic frequencies in the F2 progeny.

What is the probability of their second child being normal?
4. Mr. Salazar has Type A blood while Mrs. Salazar has Type B. They have four children. Bobbie has Type A, Gabbie has Type B, Alex has Type AB, and Teddie has Type O. What are the genotypes of all six people in this family? NOTE: The ABO blood type gene has three alleles. IA and IB are codominant; i (for Type O) is recessive to both.
1. A mother with blood type A has a child with blood type O, and she claims that Mister X is the father. Mister X denies that he could possibly be the father, because he has blood type B. If you were the judge presiding over this case, which of the following arguments would you find most convincing? a. Mr. X could be the father if his blood genotype is IBIB, and the mother’s blood genotype is IAIA b. Mr. X cannot be the father because a child with blood type O cannot have a parent with blood type B c. Mr. X could be the father if his blood genotype is IBi, and the mother’s blood genotype is IAi d. Mr. X cannot be the father because a parent with blood type B cannot have a child with blood type O e. Mr. X cannot be the father because the human ABO blood types are sex-linked traits 2.
