The A and B antigens in humans may be found in water-soluble form in secretions, including saliva, of some individuals (Se/Se and Se/se) but not in others (se/se). The population thus contains “secretors” and “nonsecretors.” (a) Determine the proportion of various phenotypes (blood type and ability to secrete) in matings between individuals that are blood type AB and type O, both of whom are Se/se. (b) How will the results of such matings change if both parents are heterozygous for the gene controlling the synthesis of the H substance (Hh)?

Sickle cell anemia follows a single-gene pattern of inheritance, with two alleles: one allele (S) produces normal hemoglobin, and the other (s) produces abnormal hemoglobin. Describe the phenotype outcome for each of the three possible genotypes (SS, Ss and ss), with regard to sickle cell anemia and malaria.
With regard to the ABO blood types in humans, determine the genotype of the male parent and female parent shown here: Male parent: Blood type B; mother type O Female parent: Blood type A; father type B Predict the blood types of the offspring that this couple may have and the expected proportion of each.

If an AB negative (blood type) female mates with an O positive male (blood type). What are the potential offsprings? Preferably shown through a punnet grid, other means of representation are also accepted if percentages are accurate.
. A gene called Q has two alleles, QFand QG, that encode alternative forms of a red blood cell protein thatallows blood group typing. A different, independentlysegregating gene called R has two alleles, RC and RD,permitting a different kind of blood group typing. Arandom, representative population of football fanswas examined, and on the basis of their blood typing,the following distribution of genotypes was inferred(all genotypes were distributed equally betweenmales and females):QFQFRCRC 202QFQG RCRC 101QGQG RCRC 101QFQFRCRD 372QFQG RCRD 186QGQG RCRD 186QFQFRDRD 166QFQG RDRD 83QGQG RDRD 83This sample contains 1480 fans in total.a.

. For several years, Hans Nachtsheim investigated an inherited anomaly of the white blood cells of rabbits. Thisanomaly, termed the Pelger anomaly, is the arrest ofthe segmentation of the nuclei of certain white cells. Thisanomaly does not appear to seriously burden the rabbits.a. When rabbits showing the Pelger anomaly were matedwith rabbits from a true-breeding normal stock,Nachtsheim counted 217 offspring showing the Pelgeranomaly and 237 normal progeny. What is the geneticbasis of the Pelger anomaly?b. When rabbits with the Pelger anomaly were matedwith each other, Nachtsheim found 223 normal progeny,439 with the Pelger anomaly, and 39 extremely abnormalprogeny. These very abnormal progeny not only haddefective white blood cells, but also showed severedeformities of the skeletal system; almost all of themdied soon after birth. In genetic terms, what do yousuppose these extremely defective rabbits represented?Why were there only 39 of them?c. What additional experimental evidence…
For this problem, use the information given in problem 14. A young woman with blood type O gave birth to a baby with blood type O. In a court case, she claims that a certain young man is the father of her child. The man has type A blood. Can he be the father? Can it be proven on this evidence alone that he is the father? Pls show work!
Describe how the Bombay phenotype is epistatic to the ABO blood phenotype in humans, and discuss some implications of this phenotype in blood typing and blood donation.
Spherocytosis is an inherited blood disease in whichthe erythrocytes (red blood cells) are spherical insteadof biconcave. This condition can be inherited in adominant fashion, with ANK1 (the nonfunctional mutant allele) dominant to ANK1+. In people with spherocytosis, the spleen recognizes the spherical redblood cells as defective and removes them from thebloodstream, leading to anemia. The spleen in different people removes the spherical erythrocytes withdifferent efficiencies. Some people with sphericalerythrocytes suffer severe anemia and some mild anemia, yet others have spleens that function so poorly nosymptoms of anemia exist at all. When 2400 peoplewith the genotype ANK1 ANK1+ were examined, itwas found that all of them had spherical erythrocytes,2250 had anemia of varying severity, and 150 had nosymptoms. (Assume that ANK1 ANK1 homozygotesdo not exist.)a. Does this description of people with spherocytosisrepresent incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, or both? Explain…
