Recall that the alleles for blood groups are A, B, O, and that A and B are each dominant to O, and A and B are codominant (AA and AO= A blood type; BB and BO = B blood type; AB = AB blood type; OO = O blood type). According to the Red Cross, in the US Asian population the alleles frequencies of A, B, an O are 18.8%, 17.6%, and 63.6%, respectively. If a mother and son from this population have blood type AB and the father has blood type B, what is the probability that the father’s genotype is BB?

****Note for question 1 - you have been given the frequency of the two alleles (dominant and recessive = p + q=1) and you are using those allele frequencies to calculate the genotype frequencies. p2 + 2pq + p2
