Human ABO blood type is controlled by the I locus and has three possible alleles. The alleles which code for type A blood (IA) a

nd type B blood (IB) are codominant, while the allele for type O blood (i) is recessive. In a cross between a person with a genotype of IAi and a person with genotype IAIB, what is the probability of seeing three offspring with type A blood?

Answer:

1/8 (12.5 %)

Explanation:

Cross: IAi X  IAIB

F1: 1/4 IAIA 1/4 IAIB 1/4 IAi 1/4 IBi

Phenotypes:

- IAIA and IAi >> type A blood

- IBi >> type B blood

- IAIB >> type AB blood

Phenotypic frequency type A blood: 1/2  (i.e., 1/4 IAIA +  1/4 IAi) >>

Probability to have 3 offspring with type A blood: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

The human ABO blood group is a system consisting of there different alleles: A, B, and O. This system is used in genetics as an example of codominance because both A and B alleles are expressed in heterozygous individuals (i.e., IAIB), whereas only the allele A is expressed in individuals that have A and O alleles (since O allele is recessive to the A and B alleles).

Virty [35]
Sickle cell disease has a benefit in malaria infection because it makes the parasites easier to eliminate. This makes a person with sickle cell disease is more likely to survive the malaria infection, which found many in Africa.
<span>
Sickle cell disease has a few drawbacks because it makes the red blood cells less durable, which lead to the destruction of more red blood cells. In normal condition(where malaria doesn't exist like in America), this gene will make the organism less likely to survive than those who don't have the gene.</span>
