8) In addition to the ABO self-antigen system, another red blood cell self-antigen system is the Rh factor. The gene for this self=antigen system exhibits complete dominance with Rh positive (the presence of self-antigen Rh) being completely dominant over Rh negative (the absence of the self-antigen Rh). Rh positive is symbolized as + and Rh negative is symbolized as -. a. Geraldo has B- blood and Arline has O+ blood. Geraldo’s father has B+ blood and his mother has O- blood. Arline’s mother has O= blood and her father has A+ blood. Geraldo and Arline have a daughter, Elise. Using a Punnett square, what are the possible blood types for Elise? b. What is Geraldo’s genotype? c. What is Arline’s genotype?
