A man with type A blood whose parents were both type AB marries a woman with type B blood whose parents were both type AB. If you were the paramedic who had to perform a transfusion to save the life of their child, what type of blood would you use? (Draw a Punnett square to help you).
Answer= blood type A, B ,AB or O
Explanation =
A man with type A blood whose parents were both type AB marries a woman with type B blood whose parents were both type AB. If you were the paramedic who had to perform a transfusion to save the life of their child, what type of blood would you use? (Draw a Punnett square to help you).
A man blood type = A
genotypes of man = IAIA( because parents have blood group AB. genotypes = IAIBone A comes from mother and one A from father.)
Woman blood type = B
genotypes of woman = IBIB( because parents have blood group AB. genotypes = IAIBone B comes from mother and one B from father.)
children:
IA | IA | |
IB | IAIB (blood group AB) | IAIB (blood group AB) |
IB | IAIB (blood group AB) | IAIB (blood group AB) |
their all children have same blood type = AB
If I were the paramedic who had to perform a transfusion to save the life of their child, I can use A, B, AB or O type of blood .
because blood type AB is the universal acceptor.he can accept the blood from all blood types.
