Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
write true if the statement if correct and change the " " word/phrase to make it correct
the DNA is present in the "aqueous" phase after the treatment with 10% SDS and 6:1 (v/v)
The identity of Kim's biological father is unknown, but it is thought to be either Kevin or Thomas. To determine which of the two men it is, blood typing of all the persons involved was performed.
Here are the results of the blood tests, including the phenotypes and possible genotypes of each person:
Rachel (mother) Type AB; genotype IA, IB
Kim (child) Type A; genotype is either IA, IA (if homozygous) or IA, i (if heterozygous)
Kevin (alleged father #1) Type A; genotype is either IA,IA if homozygous or IA, i if heterozygous
Thomas (alleged father #2) Type O; genotype is ii
There are 2 DNA bands in the "fingerprint" of each person tested: mother, child, alleged father 1, and alleged father 2. Why are there two bands for each person and not three?
