Question

1)If you had a patient with a low hematocrit, how could you tell from a complete blood count whether it was caused by a deficiency in vitamin B or iron? 2) Besides iron and vitamin B deficiencies, give 2 other things that might cause an individual's hematocrit reading to be abnormally high or abnormally low. 2 & 3) What is your blood type?_A List all of the possible genotypes for Rh factor and AB0 type that you might have. For example, a man who is B+ could have 2 genes for B blood (genotype BB) or one gene for B blood and one gene for O (genotype B0) blood because 0 is a recessive gene. He could have 2 ge (genotype - Rh+,Rh+) or one gene for Rh+ and one gene for Rh (genotype Rh+Rh-) because Rh+ is dominant and Rh- is recessive.. enotype was BO Rh+Rh-, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of your child? (If you have A or B blood assume that your genotype is A0 or BO. If you have Rh+ blood assume that your genotype is Rh+Rh-). Draw a Punnett square for the crosses (Rh and ABO) and then list the genotypes and phenotypes that result. Your Rh genes Your ABO genes Rh+ 0 Rh- Genotypes: Phenotypes 4) Which types of blood can you safely receive? 5) To which blood groups can you safely donate blood?

Explanation / Answer

Ans-1 the two Conditions can be differentiated by complete blood count because in case of iron deficiency there is a equal decrease in the levels of the heamoglobin along with the decrease in the RBC count while in the vitamin B12 deficiency only RBC count will decrease and macrocyte count will increase.
