The ABO blood system has been used to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as a geneticist, you must testify during a case in which the mother has type A blood, the child has type O blood, and the alleged father has type B blood. How would you respond to the following statements? a. Mans attorney: The mother has type A blood, so the childs type O blood must have come from the father. Because my client has type B blood, he could not be the father. b. Mothers attorney: Further tests prove this man is heterozygous, so he must be the father.
Use the following information to respond to the three questions posed below: (1) The proband (affected individual who led to the construction of the pedigree) exhibits the trait. (2) Neither her husband nor her only sibling, an older brother, exhibits the trait. (3) The proband has five children by her current husband. The oldest is a boy, followed by a girl, then another boy, and then identical twin girls. Only the second oldest fails to exhibit the trait. (4) Both parents of the proband show the trait. a. Construct a pedigree of the trait in this family. b. Determine how the trait is inherited (go step by step to examine each possible pattern of inheritance). c. Can you deduce the genotype of the probands husband for this trait?
