One parent has type A blood and the other has type B. What are their genotypes if they produced children whose blood types were
1 answer:
Answer:
iAiA and iBiB
Explanation:
Blood type in humans is controlled by a gene with three alleles namely: iA, iB, and i. Alleles iA and iB are dominant over allele 'i' but codominant. The following are the allelic combinations of the genotype and the resulting blood types:
iAiA or iAi - type A
iBiB or iBi - type B
iAiB - type AB
ii - type O
According to this question, one parent has type A blood and the other has type B. If all the offsprings of these parents have blood type AB, this means that the parents must have a genotype of iAiA and iBiB respectively.
