In humans, the trait for A type blood and B type blood show incomplete dominance, so that a person with both genes has blood type AB. Both A and B dominate type O. A person with a gene for type A blood and type O blood marries someone with a gene for type B blood and type O blood. List the types of offspring they could have and the probability for each blood type in the offspring.
2. Suppose that gene b is sex-linked, recessive, and lethal. A man marries a woman who is heterozygous for this gene. If this couple had many normal children, what would be the predicted sex ratio of these children?
3. A particular sex-linked recessive disease of human beings is usually fatal. Suppose that by chance, a man with the disease lives past puberty and marries a woman heterozygous for the trait. If they have a daughter, what is the probability that she will have the disease?
