DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and is the carrier molecule for hereditary genetic information.
The DNA molecule is double-stranded, consisting of two complementary polynucleic chains which are antiparallel-facing and which are wound in a double helix (helical form). These two chains are bound by hydrogen bonds between each pair of nucleotides (between guanine and cytosine there are three hydrogen bonds and between adenine and thymine there are two hydrogen bonds). and since the DNA is condensed in the form of chromatin, it also helps to keep this double-stranded structure.

contribute… then the rest works out as follows:

b. To which parents does baby #1 belong? Why? Hint you may want to refer to your Punnett

squares.

Baby 1 must belong to the Smiths, because they are the only ones with the possibility of EACH

having a recessive allele to pass down to the baby, Mr. Brown has type AB blood and therefore

only has the dominant A and dominant B alleles – no recessive allele possible.
