You decide to breed a pair of guinea pigs, one black and one white. In guinea pigs, black fur is caused by a dominant allele (B) and white is due to homozygosity for a recessive allele (b) at the same locus. Your guinea pigs have seven offspring, four black and three white. What are the genotypes of the parents? Why is there a 1:1 ratio in this cross?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal disease that mainly affects the white population, and 1 in 20 whites are heterozygotes. Genetic testing can diagnose heterozygotes. Should a genetic screening program for cystic fibrosis be instituted? Should the federal government fund it? Should the program be voluntary or mandatory, and why?
Humans have four possible blood types (A, B, AB, and O) and these blood types are controlled by three alleles (IA, IB, i). The IA and IB alleles are codominant, but they are both dominant over the i allele. There was a court case where the identity of a child’s father was in dispute. There were three men who could have possibly fathered the child. Alfie, Beau and Charlie. The mother of the child has type A blood, Alfie has type A blood (one of his parents had Type AB blood and the other had Type A), Beau also has Type A blood (both of his parents were Type AB), and Charlie has Type AB blood. a. List the genotypes for all the possible phenotypes: Phenotype Genotype Blood Type A Blood Type B Blood Type AB Blood Type O b. Who is the father? c. Explain why you think your answer is correct. Use a Punnett square to show your reasoning
In the ABO blood group, type A has three subtypes with an order of dominance shown as A 1> A 2> A 3 What are the genotypes of each subtype? (Make sure the alleles are big and clear enough to show the superscripts.)
A man has blood type A. His mother had type O. His wife has blood type B and her father had blood type O. Draw this pedigree. What are the genotypes of the man and his wife? Predict the expected genotypic ratio of offspring that this couple may have.
You are trying to find a blood donor to help treat some of your patients. The C-yonce and Kay-Z have 3 children with blood types A , B, and O. The youngest with blood type O needs a transfusion and you're trying to figure out if either of the parents are a match so you test the parent genotypes. Note: Alleles for each blood type are expressed as follows: blood type A= I^A blood type B= I^B blood type O= i Hint: Remember that 2 alleles contribute to a persons blood type. Pay attention to dominant and recessive relationships among the alleles. 1-C-yonce is type B. What must her genotype be? 2-What must Kay-Z’s genotype be? 3-Which parent can give blood to their child ? 4-After running lab tests, it was discovered that the children's blood types were reported incorrectly.(This does not affect the genotypes entered for C-yonce and Kay-Z in the previous questions.) Their youngest actually has blood type AB, and still needs a blood transfusion. Which parent can donate blood to the child…

Mr and Mrs Flynn are concerned because their new baby doesn't resemble either of them and has type O blood. Mr. Flynn is type A and Mrs, Flynn is type B. They are sure that it's impossible to have a baby with a different blood type than the parents, and so they conclude that a mistake has been made. Are they correct? Explain your answer. Be specific. Use the correct blood alleles
The reason why a person can have type AB blood is ... Group of answer choices [ ]: All of these answers are true [ ]: because the A and B alleles are co-dominant [ ]: because they don’t have the dominant O allele [ ]: because they represent entirely different genes. [ ]: because blood type is a random mutation.
A girl is taking a genetics course on the ABO blood types where she learns that she has an O blood type. She realizes that this is strange because her father has an AB blood type. She knows that infidelity and adoption are not possible. How could her O blood type be explained?
In man, there is gradation in eye color and resulting to 9 phenotypes. These are (in order of the number of additive alleles): light blue, medium blue, dark blue, gray, green, hazel, light brown, medium brown, dark brown. Mr. A (dark brown eyes) and Mrs. A’s (light blue eyes) daughter, marries a man whose genotype is the same as herself. What is the probability that they could have: Dark brown eyed child? Hazel-eyed? What eye color is most likely to occur and what is its probability?
