Answer:
Question 4 - b. Iᴬ iᴼ
Question 5 - a. 4
Question 6 - a.
Explanation:
Question 4
As explained, the genes for both type A and type B are co-dominant. These genes are neither dominant nor recessive. This means that when put together, the result would be AB type blood. From there, we can determine which blood type each genotype would result in.
a. Iᴬ Iᴮ -> AB type blood
b. Iᴬ iᴼ -> A type blood
c. Iᴮ Iᴮ -> B type blood
d. iᴼ iᴼ -> O type blood
Question 5
A phenotype refers to an observable characteristic that results from the genotype. In this situation, the 4 phenotypes possible are the following:
- Type A blood
- Type B blood
- Type AB blood
- Type O blood
Question 6
Homologous chromosome pairs consist of one chromosome from the male parent and one from the female parent. Homologous chromosome pairs are similar in gene position but may contain different alleles. This means that A would be correct. Notice how the A gene type is located in the same position on both chromosomes. This applies to both the B and C gene types too.
