A particular recessive genetic disorder is polygenic. It is caused by 2 separate, unlinked genes (Genes A and B). To have the di

sorder, a person must be homozygous recessive for BOTH of these genes. A mother is heterozygous for Gene A and homozygous recessive for Gene B. The father is heterozygous for gene Gene A and homozygous dominant for Gene B. If they have 2 children, what is the probability that 1 of them will have this disorder

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

1-Mother:

The probability to pass the disorder to her progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Father:

2-The probability to pass the disorder to his progeny is: 1 x 1/2 = 1/2

Therefore, the probability to have the disorder is equal to the product of both independent events, i.e., 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 or 25%

A person who has type AB blood and is heterozygous for Rh factor has children with a person who is heterozygous for type A blood
MatroZZZ [7]

Blood type is determined by the alleles coding for the antigen present on cell membranes.

The person with type AB blood has a heterozygous Rh factor.

  • Half the gametes have Rh factor (+) and the other half are negative for Rh factor (-)
  • Half the gametes have IA and the other half have IB
  • The possible gamete combinations are IA+, IA-, IB+, IB-

The person with heterozygous type A blood is negative for Rh factor

  • All gametes are negative for Rh factor (-)
  • Half the gametes have IA and the other half have IO
  • The possible gametes are IA-, IO-

The genotype ratio is 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1

The phenotype ratio is 2: 2:1:1:1:1.
