An Rh(-) woman marries a Rh(+) man gave birth to three children ,one which died of erythroblastosis foetalis. What is the genotype of woman and man ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Rh ^{-} Rh ^{+},Rh ^{+}Rh ^{-}\] OR \[Rh ^{+}Rh ^{+}, Rh ^{+} Rh ^{+}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the Rh on the sex chromosomes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Assuming it is on the X chromosome females only donate X and males can donate X or Y Thus you can get Thus the female would have to have one X- and one X+ and male would have X+ We assume that X- is the dominant allele XX +/- XY + XY -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the Female only had X- X- and the male was X+ then you could only have two possible phenotypes XY - and XX +/-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct me if i am wrong is the answer the first option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read my solution if you don't understand articulate it for me not to be rude but I'm busy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is Y always of + type

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Y wouldn't carry the allele
