Question

B) There are many antigens (i.e., proteins or glycoproteins) found on the surface of the red blood cell. The most relevant ones in blood transfusions are the ABO, Rh, and Kell antigens. The dominance patterns of several of the antigens are shown below ABO type codomivant, i recessive Rh type MN type Mand N cedowinaRA Xgta, type Xera+, dominant to Xgra? K type All of the blood types are autosomal except for Xelo, which is X linked Rh dominant to Rh K dominant to K In the below table, the phenotypes for several mother/daughter pairs are shown Mother Daughter Possible fathers i) A, M. K., Rh.. Xera 3) O, N, K , Rh , X","M sible fathers if any, from among the gicen males. One father can be used multiple times. B. If mother and father 1 had a child, which daughter could be theirs?

Explanation / Answer

Please find the answers below:

Answer A: According to the information, the correct matches of mother, father and daughter can be found as below:

Mother 1-Daughter-1- Father 1

Mother 2-Daughter 2- Father 4

Mother 3-Daughter-3- Father 4

Mother 4-Daughter 4- Father 4

Answer B: If mother-1 and father-1 had a child, their daughter would have phenotype similar to daughter 1 since this match follows all criteria for complete dominance as well as co-dominance.
