Answer: Mary's parents' genotype are Aa and AA.

Explanation: Suppose the recessive blood disorder has a genotype of aa.

Mary's husband's genotype, as he has the trait, is aa. Both of their children also have it, so they are aa as well. To have a child with this genotype, Mary must have been a carrier, so her genotype is Aa.

Now, for Mary to be a carrier and since none of her siblings has the disorder,  one of her parents must be heterozygous for the trait (Aa), while the other is homozygous for the trait (Aa).

In other words, Mary's parents' genotypes are Aa and AA.

All orginsims grow and reproduce but how? And what about replacing those old and damaged cells?
poizon [28]
Example:
When you skin your knee, cells divide to replace old, dead, or damaged cells. Cells also divide so living things can grow. When organisms grow, it isn't because cells are getting larger. Organisms grow because cells are dividing to produce more and more cells.
