Question
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS STEP BY STEP:
Recent studies suggest that having the A blood type increases the risk of serious complications for patients suffering from COVID-19. Sarah doesn't know her blood type, but she knows her father is type O and her mother is type AB.
What is the probability, from 0 to 100 percent, that Sarah is blood type A?
Enter a single whole number from 0 to 100.
If you think the answer is a fraction, then round to the nearest whole number.

- A female is homozygous for a dominant mutation of ACE2 which prevents binding of the spike protein from Covid-19. This woman marries a man that does not contain any mutation for ACE2. Considering the bar body, what would this mean for chances of their daughters being more protected from Covid-19 in the future. What about the sons? Select one: a. Each daughter would have a 50% chance of being essentially immune to Covid 19 due to mosaicism and inactivation of one X. If the X with the wild-type allele for ACE2 is suppressed as the bar body, the women would be more resistant to COVID-19, if the X with the mutant form is suppressed, the daughter have the normal reaction to COVID-19. Each son will be immune. b. Since the ACE2 receptor has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes, then each daughter will be heterozygous for the mutation and both the sons and daughters will be immune to COVID-19. c. Since females have two X's, each daughter will be twice as affected by COVID-19.arrow_forwardI'm having trouble with my genetics study guide, and am stuck on this question. If someone could explain it with the work it would help me so much. Thank you! In humans, the inheritance of the ABO blood group system exhibits both complete dominance (alleles IA and IB are dominant to allele i) and codominance (alleles IA and IB). In addition, thalassemia shows incomplete dominance; heterozygotes (Tt) exhibit a mild form of the disease (thalassemia minor) and homozygotes (tt) have a more severe form (thalassemia major). A man has blood type A and his mother has blood type O. His wife has blood type AB. Both members of the couple have thalassemia minor. What is the probability that they will have a child with: a. thalassemia minor and blood type A? b. no anemia and blood type AB? c. thalassemia major and blood type B?arrow_forwardFor practice, let's work with blood groups. Three alleles exist for human blood types. They were not numbered, but instead marked with the letters for A, B and O. The labeling convention is : IA, IB, and Ii. IA and IB are codominant alleles, whereas Ii is the recessive allele for type O. Humans are diploid; every individual carries only two alleles. For the following question list all 6 possible Blood group genotypes. The first has been done for you below:arrow_forward
- Blood types in humans are caused by a combination of two of three possible alleles - IA, IB, and i. The i allele is recessive and individuals homozygous for this allele have blood types O. Blood type A may be due to either homozygous condition or the IA i Blood type AB is caused by having a copy of both the IA and IB alleles. Rh factor is another “marker” on human red blood cells and is either positive (dominant—RR or Rr) or negative (recessive—rr). Franks has blood type A-negative. Frank’s father is B-positive and his mother is AB-positive. Frank marries Susan, a woman that is B-positive. Susan’s mother is A-negative and her father is AB-positive. Give the genotype of all of the individuals mentioned above. b. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the possible offspring from this marriagearrow_forwardYour internship with Dr. Nefario at Gru Industries is going well so far, but a recent mission to obtain a shrink ray requires a special kind of Minion. You identify that the ideal Minion phenotypes for this mission are two eyes, pale yellow, and short. From your previous work, you’ve found that:Two-eyed (D) is completely dominant over one-eyed (d)Yellow (Y) is incompletely dominant with white (y)Tall (T) is completely dominant over short (t) a. The only reproductive individuals you have at the moment (it was surprise mission!) are a true breeding two-eyed, yellow, short Minion and a one heterozygous for each trait. What genotypic ratios would you expect for this crossassuming that each locus is on a different chromosome? What total proportion would you expect to be the desired phenotype for the mission? b. The mission has since been delayed due to lack of financial support, so you’ve got some time. All the individuals from the F1 cross above are now reproductive. Which genotypes would…arrow_forwardI am a little confused on this question.arrow_forward
- what fraction of the offspring of two parents with sickle trait would you expect to have sickle cell anemia? Explain how you arrived at this answer. Also include a punnet squarearrow_forwardPlease solvearrow_forwardDNA sequencing of your own two β-globin genes (one from each of your two Chromosome 11s) reveals a mutation in one of the genes. given this information alone, should you worry about being a carrier of an inherited disease that could be passed on to your children? What other information would you like to have to assess your risk?arrow_forward
- Now, figure out the complementation groups. This shows how many genes are involved in this pathway. Some of the mutant classes in the previous problem must contain more than one complementation group (gene) For example class 2 is defined by mutants 1,3,4,6, and 7. These mutants may, or may not, all be in the same gene. Complementation testing will help you know if they are, or are not, in the same gene. So there are actually additional steps between some of the letters. For example, maybe instead of XàY, it is really XàFàGàY.arrow_forwardA woman diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's due to a mutation of the APP genehas children with a man that has no family history of familial Alzheimer's.
