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 ?
\[Rh ^{-} Rh ^{+},Rh ^{+}Rh ^{-}\] OR \[Rh ^{+}Rh ^{+}, Rh ^{+} Rh ^{+}\]
is the Rh on the sex chromosomes?
yes
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 -
if the Female only had X- X- and the male was X+ then you could only have two possible phenotypes XY - and XX +/-
correct me if i am wrong is the answer the first option
Read my solution if you don't understand articulate it for me not to be rude but I'm busy :)
is Y always of + type
Y wouldn't carry the allele
it is a totally different chromosome
Well I assume
oh thanks i got the answer thanks a lot @cuddlepony ^_^
so was I right lol?
