Determine whether the following statements about human ABO Wood groups are true or false._____ A child who is type o may have two type A parents _____A child who is type 0 may have one type AB parent _____A child who is type B may have two type AB parents _____A child who is type AB may have one type 0 parent Mary, who has blood type A, is not sure whether her child was fathered by John or Tom. The child has type B blood John has blood type O, and Tom has blood type AB. Can we determine which of these two men is more likely to be the father? If so, slow or explain how. Suppose Mary pursues further genetic testing, and discovers that her own genotype Is. If this is correct, why does it suggest that another mistake was made at some point? Use a Punnett square to support your answer. Solution 1. a) true b) false c) true d) false 2. Tom is likely to be the father. since, Mary has blood type A- genotype is AO or AA JOhn has blood type O- genotype is O O Tom has blood type AB- genotype is AB thus it is not possible for AO OR AA crossed with OO to have a child with blood type B while when crossed with AB it is possible to have a child with genotype BO which will be blood type B. 3. here the results show that mary is homozygous for the allele A thus her genotype would be AA thus it is likely that mary is not the mother of this child with blood group B. Mary\'s genotype cossed with tom would provide these results which does not include IBIO or IBIB which shloud be the genotype of the child.IAIA/IAIBIAIBIAIAIAIAIBIAIAIAIAIB.

1. Determine whether the following statements about human ABO Wood groups are true or
false._____ A child who is type o may have two type A parents _____A child who is type 0 may
have one type AB parent _____A child who is type B may have two type AB parents _____A
child who is type AB may have one type 0 parent Mary, who has blood type A, is not sure
whether her child was fathered by John or Tom. The child has type B blood John has blood type
O, and Tom has blood type AB. Can we determine which of these two men is more likely to be
the father? If so, slow or explain how. Suppose Mary pursues further genetic testing, and
discovers that her own genotype Is. If this is correct, why does it suggest that another mistake
was made at some point? Use a Punnett square to support your answer.
Solution
1. a) true
b) false
c) true
d) false
2. Tom is likely to be the father.
since, Mary has blood type A- genotype is AO or AA
JOhn has blood type O- genotype is O O
Tom has blood type AB- genotype is AB
thus it is not possible for AO OR AA crossed with OO to have a child with blood type B
while when crossed with AB it is possible to have a child with genotype BO which will be blood
type B.
3. here the results show that mary is homozygous for the allele A thus her genotype would be
AA thus it is likely that mary is not the mother of this child with blood group B.
Mary's genotype cossed with tom would provide these results which does not include IBIO or
IBIB which shloud be the genotype of the child.IAIA/IAIBIAIBIAIAIAIAIBIAIAIAIAIB
