Human Genetics Blood Groups Problem Set KEY 1.

For the ABO blood group, what are the predicted genotypes and phenotypes and the frequencies for the offspring of the following matings: Type O = I I I I a. AA x AB A B Genotype Phenotype 50% AA 50% Type A 50% AB 50% Type AB A AA AB

+
A AA AB b. A I i x I i I i Ii A A Ii II A Ii Genotype 50% A Ii Phenotype 50% Type A

+
Ii Ii Ii Ii II 50% I i I i 50% Type O c. BB x I i I I Ii B B Ii Ii B Ii Genotype 100% B I i Phenotype 100% Type B

+
B B Ii B II 1

d. A I i x B I I

Genotype 25% AB 25% A II 25% B II 25% I I I I

Phenotype 25% Type AB 25% Type A 25% Type B 25% Type O

B A AB

II A II

+
II B II II II 2. The MN blood group is another system due to a single gene and two codominant alleles, M and N. Codominant means the phenotype for the heterozygote is MN. Give the expected frequency and genotypes of the following matings: a. MM x NN 100% MN b. MN x NN 50% MN; 50% NN

c. MN x MN

25%MM; 50% MN; 25% NN
