Kara is B-positive and her father has A-negative blood. Kara marries Ryan, who is A-negative. Ryan’s father has O-positive blood. (d) What is Kara’s genotype? (e) What is Ryan’s genotype? (e)What are the phenotypic ratios of blood types (for both the ABO gene and Rh gene) that would be expected among their children? (Show your work in a Punnett square below!)
