There is equal chance (one in two) that each of their children will have either type A or type B.

The A and B antigen alleles are both dominant to the defective antigen allele (O). The parent with AB can donate either an A or a B to the offspring; the O parent can donate only an O so the only possible combinations are AO and BO. Because O is recessive to A and B, the child will have either A or B type blood.

Type B blood marries a woman with type A they have six AB children what are there genotypes?

The woman could be AA or AO and the man could be BB or BO. The children would all be AB.


When man with blood group A and woman with blood group B marry then what is the possible blood groups?

All blood groups are possible for children born from a combination such as this, regardless of which group is the male and which is the female.


A recessive allele t is responsible for a condition called distonia a man who has this condition marries a woman who doesnt one of their four children has the conditon what are the pssible genotypes?

Firstly, if the condition is recessive, both the man and the child with the condition must have the genotype tt. The mother must have the genotype Tt. This is because if she had TT, all of the children would be Tt and not have the condition. If she were tt, she would have the condition as well. Therefore if the father has tt and the mother has Tt, the other 3 children who do not have the condition must all have the genotype Tt. So: Mother - Tt Father - tt Affected child - tt Other children - Tt


How do you find the possible genotypes of the children of a woman with blood type O and a man with blood type AB?

There are three alleles for blood type which can be represented by IA, IB, and i. A person with blood type O has the genotype ii. A person with blood type AB has genotype IAIB. If these two people produce children, those children will inherit one allele from each parent. They will therefore certainly inherit the i allele from their mother and either the IA or the IB from their father. The children with the genotype IAi will have type A blood, since the IA allele is dominant to the i allele. The children with the genotype IBi will have type B blood, since the IB allele is also dominant to the i allele.


A man who has dystonia marries a woman who doesn't one of their children has the condition what are the possible genotypes of the man and woman?

Assuming the dystonia is hereditary and is a recessive gene which will be called "d" for simplicity, that means the man must be "dd" and the woman is "Dd". This is the only way they could have a child who is "dd" like the father, but not the mother.


Is it possible for a woman with AB blood and a men with type B blood to have children with type A?

YES! If the woman has type AB blood type andthe man has type BO blood tye it is possible for them to have a child with AO blood type which registers as type A. It is rare though. Genetics tell us that they have a 50% chance of a baby with type B blood and a 25% chance of a baby with type AB blood. That means that they have a 25% chance of having a baby with type A blood. Remember this doesnt account for positive or negaive antibodies.


How is it possible for a man with blood type b and a woman with blood type a to have a child with blood type o?

This is possible if the man is heterozygous for blood type A (Ai, not AA). Each parent passes down one allele to a child. So, if the woman is type O (ii) and the man is heterozygous for A (Ai), the child receives i from the mom and A or i from the dad. Consequently, the children can be either type O (ii) or A (Ai).


What does a punnet square predict?

Punnett squares can be used to predict the genotype (genetic makeup)- and thus the phenotype (observable/testable trait)- of offspring, given the genetic makeup of the parents. For example, if a woman who has heterozygous A blood (AO) has children with a man who has blood type O (OO), a Punnett square will allow you to predict that half of the children will have blood type O and the other children will have blood type A. However, this only works for traits that are strictly dominant/recessive and determined by one pair of genes, like Mendel's pea color or human ABO blood types. Traits such as hair/eye color, sensitivity to taste, and many others are polygenic (determined by many genes) and cannot be easily determined from the parents.


Is it possible for a man with blood type AB and a woman with blood type O to have a child with blood type O?

Yes it is possible. The child can have A, B and O blood group.


If a man with blood type A and a women with blood type B produce an offspring what might be the offspring's blood type?

Depending on their actual genotypes and which of those genes the offspring receive, their offspring might have AB, A, B, or O blood type. For the man to have a phenotype blood type A he might have either genotype AA or Ao. For the woman to have a phenotype blood type B she might have either genotype BB or Bo.


Is it possible for a man with AB blood type and a woman with B blood type to have a child with O blood Type?

No
