This document contains a genetics problem set involving punnett squares and human blood types. It asks the reader to use punnett squares to determine genotypic and phenotypic ratios for crosses between guinea pigs of different fur colors and between humans of different blood types. It also asks the reader to explain why blood type O is considered the universal donor and blood type AB the universal recipient.

1. In Guinea pigs, the genotype (BB) is black, and the genotype (bb) is white color, and (Bb) is grey
color.
a. What type of offspring are to be expected in a cross between a black female and a white male?

b b
Bb Bb Genotype: 100% Bb
B
Phenotype: 100% GREY
B Bb Bb

b. A heterozygous female is crossed with a white male. What are the expected genotypic and
phenotypic ratios of the offspring?

b b
Genotype: 50% Bb
B Bb Bb 50% bb

b bb bb Phenotype: 50% GREY


50% WHITE
2. Below is a human blood types chart.

a. A person with IAIB is crossed with a person who is IAIA . What are the genotypic and
phenotypic ratios of the offspring?

A B
Genotype: 2:2
A AA AB
AA: 50% AB:50%
A AA AB

Phenotype: 2:2

A blood: 50% B blood: 50%


b. A person with type AB blood is crossed with someone with type O blood. What are the
genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring?

A B Genotype: 2:2

O AO BO AO: 50% BO: 50%


O AO Phenotype: 2:2
BO
A blood: 50% B blood: 50% O blood: 0%
c. A person with type A blood is crossed with someone with type B blood. What are the
genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring?
A B Genotype: 2:2

B AB BB AB: 50% BB: 50%

B AB BB Phenotype: 2:2

Type A: 50% Type B: 50%


d. A person with type A blood is crossed with someone with type B blood. They have
offspring with type O blood. What are the genotypic of the parents?

A B Genotype: 1:1:1:1

O AB BO AB: 25% BO: 25% AO: 25% OO: 25%

O AO OO Phenotype: 1:1:1:1

Type A: 25% Type AB: 25% Type B: 25% Type O: 25%


e. A person with type AB blood is crossed with another individual. All of their children have
either type A blood or type B blood. What is the genotype of the second person?

A B Genotype: 2:2

AO AO: 50% BO: 50%


O BO

O AO BO

f. Explain the reason why blood type O is considered the Universal Donor but it cannot
accept a different blood type.
Blood type O is called Universal Donor because type O blood has neither A nor B antigens. but both A and B antibodies in
its plasma. As a result, those with type O blood can only receive this type in transfusions since its plasma antibodies would
attack anything else; however, those with type O can also donate blood to anyone else since type O is free from all
immune-system antagonizing antigens – earning type O'ers the moniker "universal donors."

g. Explain the reason why blood type AB is considered the Universal Recipient but it cannot
donate to a different blood type.
AB blood type is sometimes referred to as Universal Recipients because they can accept blood from anyone; however,
because of the presence of both antigens on type AB red blood cells, people with AB blood can only donate it to others with
the same type.
