Chapter 4, Problem 6P

The ABO and MN blood groups are given below for four sets of parents ( 1 to 4 ) and four children (a to d). Recall that the ABO blood group has three alleles: IA , IB , and i . The MN blood group has two codominant alleles, M and N . Using your knowledge of these genetic systems, match each child with every set of parents who might have conceived the child, and exclude any parental set that could not have conceived the child.

Along with the trait in the pedigree, individual IV-6 and the woman are also both heterozygous for the autosomal dominant allele causing Huntington's disease. If they have a child, what is the probability that it will be affected by at least one of these traits? Remember to include both the trait in the pedigree and Huntington's disease in your calculations. Enter your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 0.55).
Achondroplasia is a hereditary condition caused by a dominant allele in humans (dominant allele A). This disorder affects bone growth specifically in long bones of the upper and lower limbs by preventing the ossification of bones from cartilage. Determine the genotypes of the parents and offspring for the following family scenarios in a and b below.  One parent with the Achondroplasia phenotype and a normal parent have 2 children. Both children have the Achondroplasia phenotype NOTE: You must draw a Punnet square to determine the possible genotypes of te children. When two alternative genotypes are possible for an individual, indicate both.
The pedigree below shows the phenotypes of the ABO blood groups and Rhesus factors [positive (+) and negative (-)] for several members of a family. I (B+ AB- 1 2 3 4 II O- A+ В- B- AB+ A+ 1 2 4 5 6 a. What are the ABO blood group genotypes of individuals I-1 and I-2? b. Which child/ren of individual I-4 can donate blood to him? c. Which individual in the pedigree can donate blood to all the other individuals in the pedigree?
