9.

Punnett Square: A man is homozygous for the B allele, and a woman is type O. What are ALL the possible blood types of their baby?

a)

IᴮIᴮ

b)

ii

c)

IᴬIᴬ

Iᴮi

10.

Mrs. Canal is type A and Mr. Canal is type O. They have three children named Greg, Rosalind and Biff. Greg is type 0, Rosalind is type A and Biff is type AB...

What is Mr. Canal's Genotype?

a)

IᴬIᴬ

b)

IᴮIᴮ

c)

IᴬIᴮ

d)

ii

11.

Mrs. Canal is type A and Mr. Canal is type O. They have three children named Greg, Rosalind and Biff. Greg is type 0, Rosalind is type A and Biff is type AB...

Can BIFF be there son? Explain

a)

Yes because he has a portion of A in his blood like his mom

b)

Yes because his dad is type O and that is a universal donor

c)

No because his sister is type A blood

d)

No because neither parent has the B allele

12.

Two parents think their baby was switched at the hospital. The mother has blood type O, the father has blood type AB and the baby has blood type B.

Complete a punnett square and then answer the question. Was the baby switched at birth? (Do they have a baby that is not theirs? )

a)

No, the baby is type B which is possible when Dad is AB

b)

No, the baby is theirs - it has type B just like the mom

c)

Yes - neither parent is type B so it must have been switched
