Theme Inheritance of Blood groups Date
1.1. 1√
1.2. 3√
1.3. a) IAIA, IAi√
b) ii√
c) IAIB√
1.4. It is when one gene has more than two alleles √
Blood groups is one 1 gene √
But have THREE alleles√
IA , IB and i√
2.1. 3
2.2. Co-dominance – both alleles IA and IB are equally dominant whereby both alleles express
themselves in the phenotype in the heterozygous condition IAIB
2.3

3. Both parents must be heterozygous B /IBi√
The offspring will inherent the i from √ IB i
Bothe her parents√ B
I IB I B IB i
i IB i ii
Since the question ask explain learners cannot give a diagram
4.1. a) IBIB or IB i
b) ii
4.2. Blood group O genotype is ii√
The baby girl have to receive one i from the father, √
But the father have only IA or IB allele to give√
4.3. Blood groups can definitely tell us who not the father is
However, cannot tell who is the father, because many male have the same blood group
5.1. IAi
5.2. Mother
