-Do genotypes always lead to predictable phenotypes? Explain your answer in a few complete sentences, and share an example that supports your response.
-Do you know your blood type? If so and if you feel comfortable sharing, what is your phenotype? What are the possible genotypes you express? (If you don't know or would prefer not to use your own, select any blood type for this and the next steps.)
-Based on the blood genotype you shared, can an individual who is Type AB donate blood to this person? Why or why not? Be sure to include terms like antigens and antibodies in your response.
-Based on the blood genotype you shared, can an individual who is Type O donate blood to this person? Why or why not? Be sure to include terms like antigens and antibodies in your response.
-Do you have normal color vision or are you red-green color blind? This trait is an X-linked recessive trait that leads to retinal abnormalities and inability to see red/green shades. Based on your phenotype and male/female chromosome combination, what is a possible genotype you express? (Again, if you are not comfortable sharing your own, select any phenotype and genotype to share in your answer.)
-What are the probabilities of blood genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring from a cross between a mother with IAIA blood and a father with IBi blood?
-Suppose a woman who is Type AB and a man who is Type O have a child who is Type AB. Is there any reason to get a paternity test? Why or why not?
-If a woman who is a carrier for red-green color blindness and a normal man have children, what percentage of their sons would be expected to be color blind? What percentage of their daughters would be expected to be color blind?
-Hemophiliacs have blood that does not coagulate well, and they often die at a young age. The disease allele is recessive and X-linked. The normal allele (N) is completely dominant over the disease allele (n). If a hemophiliac woman and a non-hemophiliac (normal) man have children, what percentage of their sons would be expected to have the disease? What percentage of their daughters would be expected to have the disease?
-If a woman who is heterozygous for the hemophilia trait and a hemophiliac man have children, what percentage of their sons would be expected to have the disease? What percentage of their daughters would be expected to have the disease?
