Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there are not enough healthy
red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. The allele that causes sickle-cell anemia
is autosomal recessive (s), and the dominant allele can be represented by S.
How many offspring will be affected by the disorder if the mother is a carrier, and the
father appears to be normal? (Include the gender)

- Ronnie is convinced that baby Charlotte must be his daughter. He has heard about something called the “Bombay blood type”, and he is convinced that this phenomenon could explain how he could be Charlotte’s father. Please explain the Bombay blood type and its implications in this SPECIFIC situation, including (i) how it arises and (ii) genes involved, (iii) who would have the Bombay blood type in this scenario, and (iv) could Ronnie be Charlotte’s father, if this was present? Also (v) how could you determine whether the appropriate person actually had the Bombay blood type? Please LABEL the parts of your answer (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v).arrow_forwardA woman with blood type B has a child with blood type O. Her husband, whose blood type is A is concerned that the child may not be his. Based on what you learned from the inheritance of the ABO blood group system, what conclusions would you make? (Assume that both parents and the child normally produce the H-substance). The husband should not be concerned because the A and B blood types from the parents cancel each other in the child to produce an O type. The husband is right to be concerned because neither of the parents have O type blood. The husband is right to be concerned because only the blood types A or B are possible in their child. The husband is right to be concerned because only the blood groups A, B, or AB should be possible in their offspring. The husband should not be concerned because he and his wife may each be carrying an O allele.arrow_forwardA couple with the following blood types: the man has type AB and the woman has type B, discover their child has type O blood.

- A male with B blood and a female with O blood are expecting a child together. Determine all possible blood types for their offspring. Drawing Punnett squares (2 X 2) as you do this will help. (Remember that blood types A and B can have 2 different genotypes and you need to take this into account in setting up your Punnett squares.) Possible ABO blood types:______________________ If both of these individuals have Rh+ blood, is there any way they could produce a child with Rh- blood? (Be sure to consider the genotypes for Rh + individuals.) Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSituation: Guinevere decides to trace the inheritance of her blood type through her family, all the way back to her great-grandmother Natalia. Guinevere's great-grandmother Natalia, has type A blood. Natalia and her husband Claude have five children-three sons, Miguel (who has blood type A), Mark (who has blood type B) and David (who has type AB blood); a daughter (Jane) with type O blood and another daughter (Janella) with type A blood. Jane marries a man and they have two sons (Marco and Polo) who both are blood type A and a daughter (Mara) who has blood type B; Janella on the other hand marries a man and together have three sons (one with blood type A, one with AB, and one with O). Miguel marries a woman with type O blood and together they have three children (daughter Frances and son Albert who both have type A blood, and a son Mike with type O blood). Mike marries Johann and together they have one daughter, Guinevere. Guinevere knows that her parents both have the same blood type,…arrow_forwardCystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait (a).
