ABO blood group is co-dominant for AB and O is recessive. Rh (+/-) factor is completely dominant. A man with O/positive blood and a woman with A/negative blood have six children. All of their children have A + blood type. What can you conclude about the parents’ genotypes? Group of answer choices Both mother and father are likely homozygous at both loci Mother was homozygous at the ABO locus but heterozygous at the Rh factor locus Father was homozygous at the ABO locus but heterozygous at the Rh factor locus Mother was heterozygous at both loci
Compare the possible F2 generation genotypes and phenotypes and proportions if the following traits are autosomally linked in comparison to non-linked. Drosophilia gray body color is dominant over allele for black, and, normal wings is dominant over vestigial wing.

In fruit flies, the wild type (red) eye colour is dominant to white eye colour. This gene is carried on the X chromosome. The allele for wild type body colour is dominant to ebony body colour. This gene is carried on the autosome. A wild type female fruit fly that is homozygous for both traits mates with a male fruit fly with white eyes and ebony body colour. What phenotypic ratio would be expected in their offspring? Ratio: A female with red A female with white A male with red A male with white Phenotype: eyes and wild type eyes and ebony eyes and wild type eyes and ebony body colour body colour body colour body colour
