A man with blood type A and a woman of blood type B have a baby girl of blood type O. The man sues his wife for divorce, on the grounds that it is not possible for the baby to be theirs (since the blood type is not A, B. or AB). Evaluate the lawsuit on the basis of genetics (A, B alleles are co-dominant over the recessive O allele).
IA = A allele IB = B allele iO = O allele
. A man with a blood type AB is married to a woman with blood type A. They have natural children and one adopted child. These are the children with their blood type: Baltazar has blood type A, Melchor has blood type AB and Melchor has blood type O.
a. Who was adopted?
b. What genetic problem is this? (monohybrid, dihybrid or multiple allele)
c. Show the Punnett square.
if your phenotype is for a dominant trait, such as curly hair, then your genotype is?
a: also for curly hairb: for both curly and straight hair c: a complex combination of all hair typesd: unknown, the alleles could be heterozygous or homozygous
