genetics and meiosis Flashcards
Mendel’s Principles: Law of dominance
if dominant allele is present, dominant trait will show
Mendel’s Principles: Law of segregation
separation occurs so a gamete can carry and allele for each gene
4 blood types
A, B, AB. O
Antigens for each blood type (protein present)
A: A antigen
B: B antigen
AB: Both A and B antigens
O: n/a
genotypes for blood types
A: Ia, Ia or Ia, i
B: Ib, Ib or Ib, i
AB: Ib, Ia
O: i, i
who can donate to who
A: As and ABs
B: Bs and ABs
AB: ABs
O: O- universal, O+ everyone but O-
what blood types can receive from
A: As and Os
B: Bs and Os
AB: all
O: O- both Os O+ Both Os
antibodies
A: b
B: a
AB: none
O: a and b
Rh/rH factor
third protein found in red blood cells, 85% pop, has,
why is Rh/ rH important during pregnancy
if mother is negative and the child is positive, then her body will create an immune response called embryoblastosis fetalis, can be treated with meds lowering immune response
universal donor vs. recipient
Donor: O-, Recipient: AB+
most common vs. least common
Most: O+ LEast: AB-
