Several genes in humans in addition to the ABO gene () give rise to recognizable antigens on the surface of the red blood cells. The
Rh marker is determined by positive (R) and negative alleles () of gene R, where R is completely dominant to r. The presence of M and
N surface proteins are controlled by two codominant alleles of gene L (LM and LM. For each mother-child pair, choose the father of
the child from among the males in the right column. (Assume that all mothers and fathers are HH; there is no involvement of the
Bombay phenotype.)
Paternal genotypes maybe used once, more than once, or not at all. Each mother-child pair matches with one or more than one
paternal genotype.

Several genes in humans in addition to the ABO gene(I) give rise to recognizable antigens on the surface ofred blood cells. The MN and Rh genes are two examples. The Rh locus can contain either a positive or anegative allele, with positive being dominant to negative. M and N are codominant alleles of the MN gene.The following chart shows several mothers and theirchildren. For each mother-child pair, choose the fatherof the child from among the males in the right column, assuming one child per male.Mother Child Malesa. O M Rh(pos) B MN Rh(neg) O M Rh(neg)b.

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?

- What would the offspring's blood type be if the mother is type O+ (she is homozygous for Rh factor) and the father is A- (he is homozygous for type A)? Hint: You have to do two Punnett squares. The two Punnett squares must be shown to get the full points. After doing the Punnett squares, write down the possibilities of the offspring’s blood type.arrow_forwardIn a paternity suit, a woman with type O blood claims that a man with type AB blood is the father of her type O baby. List the genetypes of the mom, man, and baby. Can the woman prove he is the father or can he is not? Why or why not? If the accused man was type A insyead of type AB, what would be his possible genotypes? Could the woman prove he is the father? Can the man prove he is not the father? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe mother of a family with 10 children has blood typeRh+. She also has a very rare condition (elliptocytosis,phenotype E) that causes red blood cells to be oval rather than round in shape but that produces no adverseclinical effects. The father is Rh− (lacks the Rh+ antigen)and has normal red blood cells (phenotype e). The children are 1 Rh+ e, 4 Rh+ E, and 5 Rh− e. Information isavailable on the mother’s parents, who are Rh+ E andRh− e. One of the 10 children (who is Rh+ E) marriessomeone who is Rh+ e, and they have an Rh+ E child.a. Draw the pedigree of this whole family.b. Is the pedigree in agreement with the hypothesisthat the Rh+ allele is dominant and Rh− is recessive?c. What is the mechanism of transmission ofelliptocytosis?d. Could the genes governing the E and Rh phenotypesbe on the same chromosome? If so, estimate the mapdistance between them, and comment on your resultarrow_forward

Your response must include a Punnett square with correct nomenclature.arrow_forwardA couple consulted a genetic counselor and they found out the following: Basha: A blood type, blue eye color, normal skin condition, carrier of cystic fibrosis gene, and carrier of hemophilia gene Popoy: B blood type, has brown eye color, normal skin condition, carrier of cystic fibrosis gene and negative to hemophilia. Clues for the table: • Blood Type: The probability that they’ll have an offspring with blood type the same as Popoy is 25% only • Eye Color: The probability that they’ll have an offspring with brown eye color is 75%. • Skin condition: The probability that their offspring will be an albino is 25% What is the probability that the offspring will have/ be: A. a girl with all the same phenotype as her mother.

M Two alleles segregate during meiosis, ending up in different gametes. Each pea plant has 2 alleles for every gene, but only contributes one in each gamete. The recombination of alleles in a zygote is completely random. The Law of Independeht Assortment was determined by following three traits in pea plants, TMendle was able to determine his Law of Segregation by following ane trait in pea plants.
