 Problem Solving:
1. [10 points] On a recent episode of Raffy Tulfo in Action, a man accused his wife of cheating on him. The man has
type AB blood, the woman has type O blood and yet the baby has type B blood. Use the punnett square in order to
determine if this man could possibly be the father of this child.

Genotype of father: ________________

Genotype of mother: ________________

Could this man be the father of the child? _________________________________________________________

2. [5 points] Anthony, a colorblind person got married, annuled, and remarried. He and his first wife, Linda, has a
colorblind son, a colorblind daughter, a normal son and a normal daughter. He and his current wife, Mary, have four
boys and two girls, none of whom is colorblind. Give the genotype of each wife and state whether or not she is
colorblind. (XB – normal vision, Xb – colorblind)

Genotype of Linda: ______________________________ ___________________________

Genotype of Mary: ______________________________ ___________________________

3. [10 points] In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. Females can be normal, have the disease, or be carriers for
the trait. Males will either have the disease or not, but they won’t ever be carriers.
XHXH: normal female XHY: normal male
XHXh: female who is a carrier XhY: male with hemophilia
XhXh: female with hemophilia

A woman who is a carrier marries a normal man.

What is the probability that their children will have the disease? ________

What sex will a child in the family with hemophilia be? ___________
