1. Blood Group Notes

2. There are 4 possible blood types in Humans:
Type A
Type B
Type AB
Type O
Blood types is an example of co dominance.

4. Type O

5. B alleles

6. A alleles

8. What is your Blood Type
People O AB A B
China
46% 6%
23%
25%

9. Codominance
In the cases of some genes, two alleles may be expressed in the phenotype at the same time.
That is, NO allele is truly dominant or recessive.

10. Codominance
When no alleles are dominant in a gene, we say these alleles are codominant.
Example: If a homozygous white rose (WW) is crossed with a homozygous red rose (RR) all their offspring are pink (WR). That is they show a blending of physical traits.

11. Blood Type. There are three alleles for blood type:
Blood Group B represented by IB
co-dominant with blood group A
Dominant over blood group O
Blood Group A represent by IA
co-dominant with blood group B
Blood Group O represented by i
Recessive to both group A and B

12. Practice Cross 1 :
A person with homozygous Group A blood crosses with a homozygous Group B Blood:

16. Sex-Linked Traits Notes
__XX__= FEMALE
___XY__= MALE
There are some traits and genetic disorders that are carried on the Sex Chromosomes (usually the X)___.
There are many diseases are on the X chromosome
Examples:
Hemophilia
Color blindness
Genetic Disease are usually recessive.

17. Genotype example __XN ___= normal gene
Examples:
__XN ___= normal gene
_ Xn _ = gene with trait or disorder

18. ___XnY_____= male with trait ___XNY__= male without trait
MALES
Because males only have 1 X chromosome if they inherit the X chromosome with the disease on it they have the disease because they only have one X chromosomes to hide the trait.
Thus males inherit sex-linked genetic diseases more frequently than females.
___XnY_____= male with trait
___XNY__= male without trait

19. Xn Xn _= female with trait XN Xn = female who is a carrier
FEMALES
Inherit 2 X chromosomes_
Thus, females can also be a Carrier of the trait. This means even if a female does not have a disease, she can pass it to her offspring, if she is a carrier.
Xn Xn _= female with trait
XN Xn = female who is a carrier
XN XN= female without trait

20. Example problem:
Colorblindness is a sex-linked trait.
Cross a carrier female with a normal male.
