Summary Introduction
To review:
The importance of cord blood preservation.
Introduction:
Cord blood is also known as umbilical cord blood, which is present in the placenta and also in the umbilical cord after the birth of a child. The blood vessels of the umbilical cord and placenta act as the filter that excrete out the waste product from the fetus and deliver the nutrients to the baby from mother.

- A couple decide to have a child. They require and select a suitable sperm donor who they understand to be blood group AB and rhesus +ve. The carrier of the baby is blood group A and rhesus –ve. However, when the baby is born, they discover that the baby’s blood group is O rhesus +ve. Worried that there has been a mistake they ask for a DNA test, which confirms the sperm used was indeed that of the donor. Further DNA analysis of the carrier of the baby shows that she has isoagglutinogen alleles IA iO, while the baby is actually IB and IO. How would you explain the outcome of the blood group to the couple? What is the chance that any other children will be blood group O using the same sperm donor? What further medical considerations should the couple consider for this child and additionally for any other subsequent pregnancies?arrow_forwardMrs. Moon has type B blood. Mr. Lee has type O blood. Their son Haneul has type O blood. Make a Punnett square to show what Mrs. Moon's genotype must be to have a child with type O blood.arrow_forwardIf Nancy has type A blood marries Sam who has type B blood, what percent of their children will have type AB blood?

Determine all possible blood types for their offspring. Drawing Punnett squares (2 X 2) as you do this will help. (Remember that blood types A and B can have 2 different genotypes and you need to take this into account in setting up your Punnett squares.)
