Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Human ABO blood type is controlled by the I locus and has three possible alleles. The alleles which code for type A blood (IA) and type B blood (IB) are codominant, while the allele for type O blood (i) is recessive. In a cross between a person with a genotype of IAi and a person with genotype IAIB, what is the probability of having three offspring with type A blood?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion In a village in Quebec the frequency of a common mutant cystic fibrosis allele (CFcf) is approximately 0.025. What is the risk of a gamete carrying the mutant allele in this area?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion What is the expected (predicted) frequency of the A2 allele if it is observed that 26 individual have the homozygous dominant genotype, 62 individuals have the heterozygous genotype and 75 individuals have the homozygous recessive genotype?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose a woman who is homozygous for Huntington's disease has 12 children? We would expect __________ of them to have the disease. A mother who is heterozygous for the Huntington's disease gene wants to have a baby with a man who is also heterozygous for the gene. What is the likelihood their baby will not have Huntington's disease?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion "B"-yellow "b"-green. When 2 heterozygous parents for both traits are crossed it's called a dihybrid cross- AaBb × AaBb. Fill in the Punnett Square with the genotypes of this cross.
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Red/green colorblindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait in humans. A woman with normal vision, whose father was colorblind, marries a man with normal vision. Predict the color vision of their sons and daughters. Provide a probability for each offspring, depending on their sex. Write a pedigree consistent with this inheritance.
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion The allele for normal haemoglobin in red blood cells is HbA. In some parts of Africa where malaria occurs there is a high frequency in the population of the allele HbC. Individuals possessing the HbC allele have a lower chance of developing severe malaria. Severe malaria causes a large number of deaths in Africa. Explain the high frequency of the HbC allele in areas where malaria occurs. -3m
