John's father has genotype BO and his mother has phenotype O What are the chances of John being phenotype B?

50%. First you need to remember that a BO genotype would result in a B phenotype. The only way to have an O phenotype is to have an OO genotype. Therefore, we know that John's parents are BO and OO. Then, you can make a Punnett square.
B O
O BO OO
O BO OO
Half of the offspring between John's parents would have genotype BO and half would have OO. Therefore, half would have each of the phenotypes B and O. The answer is 50%.

Can an a positive father and an b negative mother have an ab negative child?
yes it dependsupon the genotype and phenotype
What blood type would a baby have if both parents have blood type O positive?
The gene for blood type O is recessive. The mother can only have the phenotype O if she has the genotype OO. The gene for blood type B is dominant, the father has the phenotype B, but can have the genotype BB or BO. If the father is genotype BB, the child will be B + O = BO genotype; hence B phenotype. If the father is genotype BO, the child can be B + O = BO genotype; hence B phenotype (50% chance). Or O + O = OO genotype (O phenotype, 50% chance). * Phenotype = displayed trait that can be found with a simple blood test. * Genotype = genetic make up (one part from each parent), this requires a DNA test to be confirmed; however, it can sometimes be deduced by logic.
What blood type a baby will be if father is o and mother is a?
The genotype of the father is certainly OO (because blood type O is recessive). The genotype of the mother however can be AO or AA (both give blood type A). The baby will have a combination of the genes from the mother and the father (one of each) and so: - If the genotype of the mother is AA and the genotype of the father is OO, the baby will certainly have AO as genotype and has therefore blood type A. -If the genotype of the mother is AO and the genotype of the father is OO, the baby can have AO or OO as genotype. AO results in blood type A and OO in blood type O (50% chance).
Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
Can a child's genotype be different from that of both parents?
A genotype is decided from two alleles. One of these alleles comes from the father, and one comes from the mother. Thus it should be clear that the genotype can be different from both parents. For instance, suppose the father has genotype AA, and the mother has genotype aa. In this case, the child will have genotype Aa, which neither parent has.
What blood type can be found in an offspring if a mother has type AB blood and the father has type A blood?
The mother is genotype AB, the father is either genotype BO or BB. If the father is genotype BO, the children can be genotype AB, AO, BB, or BO. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB, A, or B. If the father is genotype BB, the children can be genotype AB, AB, BB, or BB. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB or B.
What blood type can be found in an offspring if a mother has a type AB blood and the father has type A blood?
The mother is genotype AB, the father is either genotype BO or BB. If the father is genotype BO, the children can be genotype AB, AO, BB, or BO. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB, A, or B. If the father is genotype BB, the children can be genotype AB, AB, BB, or BB. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB or B.
What blood type or types can be found in an offspring if a mother has type AB blood and the father has type A blood?
The mother is genotype AB, the father is either genotype BO or BB. If the father is genotype BO, the children can be genotype AB, AO, BB, or BO. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB, A, or B. If the father is genotype BB, the children can be genotype AB, AB, BB, or BB. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB or B.
Can an a positive father and an b negative mother have an ab negative child?
yes it dependsupon the genotype and phenotype
If face shape is recessive allele for mother and a dominant allele for father is it a genotype or phenotype?
Both. A genotype is the scientific part, the lettering. For example; Lets say the mother's face shape, being recessive, is represented by lower case (s), and the father's, being dominate, is represented by captial (S). So the genotype for this sidtuation is Ss The phenotype is the physical appearance of the trait.
What are the possible blood types of children from AB mother and an AB father?
The mother is genotype AB, the father is either genotype BO or BB. If the father is genotype BO, the children can be genotype AB, AO, BB, or BO. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB, A, or B. If the father is genotype BB, the children can be genotype AB, AB, BB, or BB. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB or B.
What blood type would a baby have if both parents have blood type O positive?
The gene for blood type O is recessive. The mother can only have the phenotype O if she has the genotype OO. The gene for blood type B is dominant, the father has the phenotype B, but can have the genotype BB or BO. If the father is genotype BB, the child will be B + O = BO genotype; hence B phenotype. If the father is genotype BO, the child can be B + O = BO genotype; hence B phenotype (50% chance). Or O + O = OO genotype (O phenotype, 50% chance). * Phenotype = displayed trait that can be found with a simple blood test. * Genotype = genetic make up (one part from each parent), this requires a DNA test to be confirmed; however, it can sometimes be deduced by logic.
What is the expected phenotypic ratio among children born to a mother having the genotype IAiO and a father with the phenotype AB?
Because the actuality of IAIA is actually A then the father would be type A and the mother being type O they would produce children of Type A blood type. For the answer I chose A) A... I just had this on my Bio exam.
Can child have o type blood from AB mother and A father?
No. For the child to have a phenotype of O, they require an oo genotype. As the mother cannot provide one O to this, this is not possible.
What is the expected genotypic ratio among children born to a mother having the genotype IAiO and a father with the phenotype A?
The mother will produce two types of gametes: IA and IO (mother is A) The father is AB his genotype is IAIB, thus he will produce these kind of gametes: IA and IB Four combinations are possible IA from Mother and IA from Father: The child has genotype IAIA and he has blood group A IO from Mother and IA from Father: The child has genotype IAIO and he has blood group A IA from Mother and IB from Father: The child has genotype IAIB and he has blood group AB IO from Mother and IB from Father: The child has genotype IBIO and he has blood group B Thus the phnotypic ratio is blood group A:B:AB = 2:1:1
Can a father with type B pos blood and a mother with type a pos blood produce a child with type O pos blood?
Yes. The genotypes of the father could be BO or BB (Phenotype = B) The genotype of the mother is OO(Phenotype = O) Mating these genotypes will produce either OO (Phenotype O) or BO (Phenotype B) In short, children from these parents are B or O The Rhesus(D) positive was inherited from the father.
Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive disorder Mary does not have the disease but both of her brothers do Neither of her parents have the disease What are Marys parents genotypes indicates pr?
Mary's father is normal and has a normal genotype XY while her mother is the carrier of hemophilia and has one X of her genotype infected i.e. she is X*X.
