Human blood type is determined by three alleles, IA, IB, and IO. The alleles IA and IB are co-dominant to each other, and both are dominant to IO.

Question

Human blood type is determined by three alleles, IAIB, and IO. The alleles IA and IB are co-dominant to each other, and both are dominant to IO. These alleles combine to produce four phenotypes: type A, type B, type AB, and type O.

Within a large, randomly mating population (540,000 individuals), the frequencies for the blood type alleles are 0.3 for the IA allele, 0.6 for the IO allele, and 0.1 for the IB allele.

Calculate the expected numbers of people in the population having each of the blood types A, B, AB, and O.

A.

A = 48,600 people

B = 5,400 people

AB = 32,400 people

O = 194,400 people

  B.

A = 243,000 people

B = 5,400 people

AB = 32,400 people

O = 194,400 people

  C.

A = 162,000 people

B = 54,000 people

AB = 3,240 people

O = 324,000 people

  D.

A = 194,400 people

B = 64,800 people

AB = 32,400 people

O = 194,400 people

  E.

A = 243,000 people

B = 70,200 people

AB = 32,400 people

O = 194,400 people
