In the family home, two children were confused. The first pair of parents has 1 and 2 blood groups, the second pair has 1 and 4. One child has group 2, and the second has 1 group. Identify the parents of both children.
The blood group is inherited according to the type of multiple allelism. Let’s designate genes as A, B, O.
The first pair of parents: Group I (OO) and Group II (AO).
P: OO x AO
G: O x A, O
F: OO – I blood group
AO – II blood group
The second pair of parents: Group I (OO) and Group IV (AB).
R: OO x AB
G: O x A, B
F: AO – II blood group
BО – III blood group
Conclusion: the first couple can have children with I and II groups, the second couple – with II and III. Consequently, a child with group I belongs to the first pair, with group II – the second.
