If I got an A from my father and a O from my mother for my genotype. How would my phenotype be expressed? What is my blood type? Explain your reasoning for both answers.
You are trying to find a blood donor to help treat some of your patients.
The C-yonce and Kay-Z have 3 children with blood types A , B, and O. The youngest with blood type O needs a transfusion and you're trying to figure out if either of the parents are a match so you test the parent genotypes.
Note: Alleles for each blood type are expressed as follows:
blood type A= I^A
blood type B= I^B
blood type O= i
Hint: Remember that 2 alleles contribute to a persons blood type. Pay attention to dominant and recessive relationships among the alleles.
1-C-yonce is type B. What must her genotype be?
2-What must Kay-Z’s genotype be?
3-Which parent can give blood to their child ?
4-After running lab tests, it was discovered that the children's blood types were reported incorrectly.(This does not affect the genotypes entered for C-yonce and Kay-Z in the previous questions.) Their youngest actually has blood type AB, and still needs a blood transfusion. Which parent can donate blood to the child…
A woman with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes gives birth to fraternal twins; the father has dark brown skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. One twin has blond hair, brown eyes, and light skin, and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. What Mendelian law does this real-life case illustrate and explain what this means in terms of the inherited alleles for these genes?

- Mr. and Mrs. Flynn are concerned because their new baby doesn't resemble either of them and has type O blood. Mr. Flynn is type A and Mrs. Flynn is type B. They're sure that it's impossible to have a baby with a different blood type than the parents, and so they conclude that a mistake has been made. Are they correct? Explain your answer. Be specific.

- Porphyria is a genetic disorder caused by the inability to properly metabolize a component of hemoglobin. King George III is suspected to have been afflicted with this disorder.

- Produce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below (NOTE: It is the same story as in question 9, above so you may use the square that you produced in answer to question 9 to answer this question, you do not need to draw it twice). use it to fill in the blanks in the answer text below. NOTE: please type in whole numbers only, no symbols, no letters, no spaces. There are two common alleles for the TAS2R38 gene on Chromosome 7. This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor. This receptor controls the ability to taste glucosinolates. Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a synthetic glucosinolate. The recessive TAS2R38 allele produces a non-functional receptor. The father in this dihybrid cross is heterozygous for these alleles, meaning that he can taste PTC. The mother is homozygous recessive, meaning that she cannot taste PTC The father has X-Linked Protoporphyria which means that he is very sensitive to sunlight exposure, he is hemizygous for the…arrow_forwardProduce a Punnett square to illustrate the dihybrid cross described below (NOTE: It is the same story as in question 9, above so you may use the square that you produced in answer to question 9 to answer this question, you do not need to draw it twice). use it to fill in the blanks in the answer text below.

Jonah is XDXd Y and his brother Pete is Xd Y. Jonah and Pete BOTH have DMD of equal severity and phenotypes. You might have thought Jonah’s DMD would be less severe given his genotype. To better understand the situation, you investigate Jonah’s Xist chromosome region in his defective muscle cells. Which of the following is consistent with his phenotype? (Select all that apply.) The Xd-containing chromosome is inactive in defective muscle cells. The XD-containing chromosome has a methylated Xist promoter. The XD-containing chromosome has an unmethylated Xist promoter. The Xd-containing chromosome is active in defective muscle cells.arrow_forwardA mother with type A blood type and a father with type B blood type have a child with blood type AB. They know that this is the world's rarest blood type for this allele, so they are worried about their child. They are expecting another baby. 1) What is the probability of their next child having blood type AB based on what we know about these parents? Show at least 2 of the possibilities. 2) Are these parents right to worry? If not, why? option 1: option 2:arrow_forward
