Ben, Marie, and Korra are siblings. Ben is blood type O, Ana is blood type B, and Korra is type A. What could be the possible genotypes of their parents?
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…
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. Assume that both George and his Queen suffered from this disorder and they had one afflicted child and one normal child. Is porphyria inherited in a dominant or recessive fashion? What must be the genotype of both George and his Queen? Using punnett square, show ALL work used to achieve your answer.
