Title: In humans Bombay syndrome is a recessive allele in which homozygous recessive individuals do not display A or? Post by: firework6 on Sep 23, 2012 In humans Bombay syndrome is a recessive allele in which homozygous recessive individuals do not display A or B antigens. Two individuals, one who is homozygous for type A blood, and the other who is heterozygous for type B blood decide to have children. Both are heterozygous for Bombay syndrome. Based on this information, what is the probability that they will produce a child who is Aihh?
Title: In humans Bombay syndrome is a recessive allele in which homozygous recessive individuals do not display A or? Post by: julesarth on Sep 23, 2012 I don't know for sure if this is right. I haven't done probabilities for a long time. By doing a Punnett square, you'd see that with blood type possibilities, you'd have two squares resulting in Ai, so 50% of that. With the Hh genes, you'd have one of the squares resulting in hh, so 25%. I think you then multiply the percentages, giving you a 1/8 chance or 12.5%. That end result could be wrong, but the percent chance on Ai and hh are correct.
