Blood Type HW Worksheet

This document discusses blood types and genetics. It explains that there are four main blood types - A, B, AB, and O. The blood types are determined by alleles - A, B, and O found on chromosome 9. O is recessive while A and B are codominant. If someone receives an A and B allele, their blood type is AB. Punnett squares can be used to determine potential blood types of offspring. Examples are provided of determining genotypes and offspring blood types from parental blood types.

Blood Types - Multiple Alleles and Codominance


 In humans, there are four blood types (phenotypes): A, B, AB, and O
 Blood type is controlled by three alleles A, B, O found on chromosome 9
 O is recessive, two O alleles must be present for the person to have type
O blood
 A and B are codominant. If a person receives an A allele and a B allele, their blood
type is type AB
 Crosses involving blood type often use an I to denote the alleles - see chart.

Blood Type Genotype Can Receive


Blood From:
A IAIA AA A or O
IAi AO
B IBIB BB B or O
IBi BO
AB IAIB AB A,B, AB, or O
O ii OO O
When doing blood type crosses, you will need to know whether at type A or B person is
heterozygous or homozygous. Type O's are automatically OO and type AB is automatically
AB. Crosses are performed the same as any other using a Punnett square.

1. Write the genotype for each person based on the description:


a. Homozygous for the “B” allele ______
b. Heterozygous for the “A” allele ______
c. Type O ______
d. Type “A” and had a type “O” parent ______
e. Type “AB” ______
f. Blood can be donated to anybody ______

2. Gene Poole is married to Molly Kuehl and they have decided to have a baby. Gene is
heterozygous type “B” and Molly is type “O” blood. What are all the possible blood
types of their future children? Write the genotype and phenotype percentages.

Genotype:

Phenotype:
3. Candy Barr is married to Artie Choke. Candy Barr has type “O” blood and Artie Choke
has type AB blood. Draw a Punnett square showing all the possible blood types for the
offspring produced by the couple. Write the genotype and phenotype percentages.

Genotype:

Phenotype:

4. Mrs. Clink is type “A” and Mr. Clink is type “O.” They have two biological children named
Mark and Fred. Mark is type “O,” Fred is type “A,” They have a third child named
Karen. Her blood type is “AB”. Draw the Punnett Square for Mr. and Mrs. Clink.

Based on this information:


a. Mr. Clink must have the genotype _______
b. Mrs. Clink must have the genotype ______
because _____________ has blood type ________
c. Is Karen the biological child of Mr. and Mrs. Clink? Yes or No
Explain your answer

5. Mr. and Mrs. Cracker think their baby (Graham) was switched at the hospital. Its
1968, so DNA fingerprinting technology does not exist yet. The mother has blood
type “O,” the father has blood type “AB” and the baby has blood type “B.”

a. Mother’s genotype: _______


b. Father’s genotype: _______
c. Baby’s genotype: ______ or ________
d. Was Graham Cracker switched as a baby? Yes or No
How do you know?

SHOW YOU GET IT QUESTION: (Use a Punnett Square if needed)


Could a man with type “B” blood and a woman with type “AB” produce a child with type O blood?
