Question

Assume no Bombay allele for this entire question.) Consider a cross between someone with blood type B+ with someone with blood type A+ (and you don’t know their genotype).

a. Can they have a child with blood type O-? If not, why not? If so, give the genotypes of the parents that would allow this. (Remember to include the genotypes for the A/B/O gene as well as the Rh gene. )

  1. Give two different sets of genotypes for these parents (B+ and A+) that would NOT allow them to have an O- child.

  2. Let’s say these two parents have a child with blood type B-. Give the genotypes of the parents and the child. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The blood group determination is based on the presence or absence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells. A and B are the two types of antigens that can be found on the surface of red blood cells.
