Larry is brought up on paternity suit charges as the father of baby Pat. Baby Pat has type O blood, and her mother has type B blood. if Larry has type A blood, can he be Pat's father?

(Hint: think about the possible genotypes that can produce types A, B, and O blood and work out Punnett squares assuming that Larry is either homozygous or heterozygous for the I allele, and that Pat's mother is either homozygous or heterozygous for the other allele)

what are eukaryotic cells?

The baby needs to inherit genes for O type blood from both parents. Under what circumstances can this occur with their blood types?

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

First, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where is more likely to be overlooked.

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "bacteria pictures" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Substitute the other key words for the remainder of you pictures.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

To determine if Larry can be Pat's father based on their blood types, we need to consider the possible genotypes that can produce types A, B, and O blood.

In the ABO blood typing system, there are three alleles: A, B, and O. These alleles determine the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

If Larry has type A blood, his genotype can be either IAIA or IAi (homozygous or heterozygous for the A allele).

If Pat's mother has type B blood, her genotype can be either IBIB or IBi (homozygous or heterozygous for the B allele).

To determine if Larry can be Pat's father, we need to consider the possible genotypes that the father and mother can pass on to their child.

If Larry is homozygous for the A allele (IAIA) and Pat's mother is homozygous for the B allele (IBIB), then Larry cannot be the father of Pat. This is because their child would have type AB blood, which is not possible if both parents have type A and type B blood.

If Larry is heterozygous for the A allele (IAi) and Pat's mother is homozygous for the B allele (IBIB), then there is a possibility that Larry could be the father. Their child would have a 50% chance of inheriting the A allele from Larry and a 100% chance of inheriting the B allele from the mother. This would result in the child having type AB blood, which is possible if one parent has type A and the other parent has type B blood.

If Larry is homozygous for the A allele (IAIA) and Pat's mother is heterozygous for the B allele (IBi), then there is also a possibility that Larry could be the father. Their child would have a 100% chance of inheriting the A allele from Larry and a 50% chance of inheriting the B allele from the mother. This would result in the child having type A blood, which is consistent with Larry's blood type.

If Larry is heterozygous for the A allele (IAi) and Pat's mother is heterozygous for the B allele (IBi), then there is a possibility that Larry could be the father. Their child would have a 50% chance of inheriting the A allele from Larry and a 50% chance of inheriting the B allele from the mother. This would result in the child having either type A or type AB blood, depending on which alleles they inherit.

In conclusion, if Larry has type A blood, there are scenarios in which he can be Pat's father. The specific combinations of their genotypes will determine the possible blood types of their child.
