A court case has been filed by a mother with type O blood who has a son with type O blood. There are two fathers being accused; one has AB blood and the other A blood. Which one of the men could be the father of the child? Father with type AB Father with type A Neither could be the father A man with blood type A and woman with blood type B have a son who has type O blood. What can you conclude about the parents? The both must be heterozygous The man is heterozygous and the woman is homozygous The man is homozygous and the woman is heterozygous

Step 1
- Son has type O blood, so his genotype is also ii. - Father with type AB blood has a genotype of IAIB. - Father with type A blood has a genotype of either IAIA or IAi. For the son to have type O blood, he must inherit an "i" allele from both parents. The mother Show more…

A test was done to determine the biological father of a child. The child's blood type is A, and the mother's is B. The first man has a blood type of O, while the second has a blood type of AB. Which among the two men could possibly be the biological father? Use a cross of various genotypes. Additional Questions: Construct a Punnett square. Offspring's possible genotype? Parent 1's possible genotype? Parent 2's possible genotype? Possible cross?

1. a. In humans, the allele for A type blood and the allele for B type blood show codominance. A person with both alleles has blood type AB. Both A and B dominate type O. A person with an allele for type A blood and type O blood marries someone with an allele for type B blood and type O blood. List the types of offspring they could have and the probability for each blood type in the offspring. (A allele = IA, B allele = IB , O allele = i) b. For this problem use the information given in problem 15. A young lady with type O blood gave birth to a baby with type O blood. In a court case she claims that a certain young man is the father of her child. The man has type A blood. Could he be the father? Can it be proven on this evidence alone that he is the father?

If one parent is heterozygous for type A blood, and the other parent is homozygous for type B, what are the possible blood types for their children? AB or B, B only, All blood types are possible, AB only. 2. Traits controlled by alleles on the X chromosome are said to be: dominant, recessive, sex-linked, codominant. 3. If an albino (recessive, non-x-linked trait) woman is married to a man with normal coloring and they have an albino child, what is the genotype of the father? heterozygous, homozygous recessive, homozygous dominant, not enough information. 4. Factor V Leiden is an incompletely dominant trait. A person who is heterozygous for the trait will display: the full-blown disorder, some of the characteristics of the disease, but not the full-blown disorder, none of the symptoms of the disorder, but can pass it along to their offspring, none of the characteristics of the disorder and also cannot give it to their offspring. 5. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. What would the genotype be for a male with hemophilia? X^N Y, X^N Y, X^n Y, X^N Y^n.
