X-linked dominant
O mitochondrial
In a paternity case, a single mother claimed that a certain man was the father of her baby. The man denied it claiming that her current boyfriend was the father. The court ordered a blood test (cheaper than DNA testing) to see if he could be ruled out as the father. The mother was Type O and the baby was Type O. The man was Type AB.
What is the possible genotype of the biological father?
heterozygous Type A
homozygous Type A
heterozygous Type B

- Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait.
