For the Purposes of This Question, Assume That Being Rh⁺

question 35

Short Answer

For the purposes of this question, assume that being Rh⁺ is a consequence of D and that Rh^- individuals are dd. The ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is determined by the gene symbolized T (tt are nontasters). A female whose mother was Rh^- has the MN blood group, is Rh⁺ and a nontaster of PTC, and is married to a man who is MM, Rh^-, and a nontaster. List the possible genotypes of the children. Assume that all the loci discussed in this problem are autosomal and independently assorting.
