The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IA, IB, and i alleles. The IA allele encodes the A blood group antigen, IB encodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (IAi) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (IBi) mate, one quarter of their offspring will have AB blood type (IAIB) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: a. multiple alleles and incomplete dominance b. codominance and incomplete dominance c. incomplete dominance only d. multiple alleles and codominance

The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the I A , I B , and i alleles. The I A allele encodes the A blood group antigen, I B encodes B, and i encodes O. Both A and B are dominant to O. If a heterozygous blood type A parent (I A i) and a heterozygous blood type B parent (I B i) mate, one quarter of their offspring are expected to have the AB blood type (I A I B ) in which both antigens are expressed equally. Therefore, ABO blood groups are an example of: a. multiple alleles and incomplete dominance b. codominance and incomplete dominance c. incomplete dominance only d. multiple alleles and codominance
Human blood type is regulated by 3 alleles (A,B,O). Four blood types are possible: A, B, AB, and O. A woman who has blood type A has a son with blood type O. She sues Man #1, whom she claims to be the father, for child support. Man #1 suspects he is not the only paternal candidate and requests blood-typing for Man #2. Based on the blood-typing results in the table below who could be the father? Man #1: Type B Man #2: Type O Man #1 only Man #2 only Man #1 or Man #2 Impossible for either, since the Mother has blood type A
The ABO blood types in humans are determined by multiple alleles, in which IA and IB are codominant and both IA and IB are dominant to i. If an infant born to a mother with type O blood also possesses type O blood, the father likely has which of the following blood types? a. Either type A or type O b. Either type A or type B c. Only type O d. Type A, type B, or type O e. It is not possible to determine the father's blood type given the information provided
A Koi fish breeder wants to introduce a variety of colours in his current Koi population. In Koi, genes for yellow striped body and blue eyes are denoted by YyBB; while orange striped body and green eyes are denoted by OOgg. By means of a punnet square explain to the breeder the type of offspring he would get if he were to mate koi fish with the aforementioned genes. What phenotypes and genotypes will the offspring have?
In the Bombay phenotype, a homozygous recessive individual hh appears to have blood type O because she is unable to produce the H substance, which is required to make the A or B blood-type antigens. HH or Hh individuals normally produce H substance. What is the probability that a child will test as type AB blood from parents with the following genotypes? IAIO Hh X IBIO Hh 1/4 3/4 3/16 1/2 7/16
In alley cats, the coat color is determined by a gene carried on the X-chromosome. At the same time, the alleles are expressed as intermediate (incomplete-dominance) inheritance. Genotypes and color are as follows: Females: X ^ b * X ^ b =yellow X^ B X ^ b = calico X ^ B * X ^ B =black Males: X ^ y * Y =yellow X ^ B * Y=bhck (a) A black cat has a litter of seven kittens: three black males, one black female and three calico females. Comment on the probable paternity of this litter and explain.

In humans, there are three alleles for blood type: A, B, and O. A and B are codominant over O. A male with type AB blood and a female with type A blood have a child. The male’s parents both had type AB blood. The female’s mother had type A blood and her father had type B blood. What is the potential phenotype of the child? A. type A (25%), type B (25%), type AB (25%), type O (25%) B. type A (25%), type B (50%), type AB (25%) C. type A (25%), type B (25%), type AB (50%) D. type A (50%), type B (25%), type AB (25%)
In cats, blood-type A results from an allele (IA) that is dominant over an allele (iB) that produces blood-type B. There is no O blood type. The blood types of male and female cats that were mated and the blood types of their kittens follow. Give the most likely genotypes for the parents of each litter. Male parent Female parent Kittens a. A B 4 with type A, 3 with type B b. B B 6 with type B c. B A 8 with type A d. A A 7 with type A, 2 with type B e. A A 10 with type A f. A B 4 with type A, 1 with type B
In human blood types, Rh positive is a trait that shows simple dominance over Rh negative. A woman who has blood type A positive has a daughter who is type O positive and a son who is type B negative. Which of the following phenotypes is possible for the father? O negative AB negative A negative B positive
Blood types in humans are caused by a combination of two of three possible alleles - IA, IB, and i. The i allele is recessive and individuals homozygous for this allele have blood types O. Blood type A may be due to either homozygous condition or the IA i Blood type AB is caused by having a copy of both the IA and IB alleles. Rh factor is another “marker” on human red blood cells and is either positive (dominant—RR or Rr) or negative (recessive—rr). Franks has blood type A-negative. Frank’s father is B-positive and his mother is AB-positive. Frank marries Susan, a woman that is B-positive. Susan’s mother is A-negative and her father is AB-positive. Give the genotype of all of the individuals mentioned above. b. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring from this marriage
Consider the MN blood system in humans. This blood system consists of only two alleles, M and N, and they are codominant to each other. Three genotypes are possible, and these genotypes can be easily identified through simple blood typing procedures, including the heterozygous MN due to the codominant mode of inheritance. Consider the following data: Phenotype Genotype Number of individuals M MM 89 MN MN 162 N NN 79 1. How many alleles exist in this population? 2. What is the genotypic frequency of the M blood type in the population? 3. What is the allelic frequency of M? 4. What is the allelic frequency of N? 5. What is the genotypic frequency of MN?
