Concept explainers
To determine: The reasons for a man having genotype IAIA and his wife having genotype IBIB can donate blood to their son.
Introduction: The blood group of an individual is determined by the presence of a certain kind of antigen on the surface of blood cells. A, B, AB, and O are the four major blood groups found in human beings. The determination of the blood type of an individual is essential before the process of blood transfusion.

- A normal woman, whose father was a hemophiliac, marries a normal man. Determine the genotype of the woman and the man. Determine the possible genotypes of their children. What percent of male and female children would be hemophiliacs? What percent normal? Would any be carriers?arrow_forwardIf you were in a major accident and needed a large blood transfusion, why is type AB the best to have, in terms of being able to accept the widest range of donated cells?arrow_forwardWhen a mother is Rh-, there is a chance the baby may have hemolytic disease of Newborns. Rh+ mothers do not have this issue. Why? Rh- moms do not have the Rh antigen in their body. A Rh- mom can have a Rh+ baby depending on the male sperm. During pregnancy, Rh- mom can be exposed to her baby's Rh antigen. Let's look at figure a) the first pregnancy. The Rh- mom is pregnant with a Rh+ baby. The baby exposes the mom to Rh antigen during pregnancy. This first baby is delivered and is ok. Figure (b) between pregnancies, the mother is exposed to the foreign antigen Rh and she makes antibodies against Rh. She now has anti-D (anti-Rh) in her body. Figure (c) her second pregnancy with a Rh+ baby. On the next pregnancy that the mom has with a baby. The mom has the anti-D (anti-Rh) antibody in her system. The antibody will attack the baby's RBCS with the Rh antigen on it. When the baby's RBC's are attacked the RBC will hemolyse (hemo=RBC; Lysis=cut). This will result in severe anemia. The lysed…arrow_forward

- Suppose a newborn baby was accidentally mixed up in the hospital. In an effort to determine the parents of the baby, the blood types of the baby and two sets of parents were determined. To which parents do the babies belong? Which baby is most likely to be born with HDF?

She needs blood, but the blood bank is extremely low. Members of her family have offered to donate, but none of them know their blood type. Jane’s brother Tom, sister Mary, mother Harriett, and Grandpa Ed (her mom’s father) are local and are all willing to be tested. Jane’s other sister Sue is away at college, but she is going to have her blood tested at school and have the results sent to the hospital. Jane’s father, John and Grandmother Mona (her mom’s mother) have passed away. Their blood types remain unknown. Please use the information given to draw a pedigree that shows the distribution of blood type in Jane’s family. Squares and circles denote male and female sex, respectively (not gender). Write the name of the individual underneath each square or circle in the pedigree and write the blood type inside of the shape. Analyze the pedigree to determine blood type for John and Mona.
