PART A – Genes and Blood Types

2. Blood typing is sometimes used in custody cases in court. Two men both claim to be the father of the child. The child has Type A blood and the mother type B blood. Man 1 has type O blood, while man 2 has type AB blood.

3. A man has type A blood. He and his wife have three children, whose blood types are A, o and B

4. A woman with type O blood has a child with type O blood. She is fairly certain that the father is the second of her two husbands.

PART B – Incomplete Dominance

1) Work out a cross that would produce the following results:

50% of all offspring are brown

PART C – Codominance

1) In the short-horn cattle breed coat colour is inherited and there are only two alleles (CW – White, CR – Red).

Roan cattle contain both red hair and white hair – giving their coat a mottled ‘roan’ appearance.

4. c) workings

After several matings of tan-coloured birds, a breeder noted the following average offspring numbers:

24 white, 26 brown and 53 tan birds.

There are only two genes that control feather colour in birds – they are WW- White and BB - Brown with the intermediate or mixed colour being BW - Tan
