What are the human genotypes?

What are the human genotypes?

A description of the pair of alleles in our DNA is called the genotype. Since there are three different alleles, there are a total of six different genotypes at the human ABO genetic locus. The different possible genotypes are AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, and OO.

What is a genotype and give an example?

An organism’s genotype is its specific combination of alleles for a given gene. So, for example, in the pea plants above, the possible genotypes for the flower-color gene were red-red, red-white, and white-white. The phenotype is the physical manifestation of an organism’s allellic combination (genotype).

What are 2 examples of genotype?

Other examples of genotype include: Hair color. Height. Shoe size….Genotype examples

  • A gene encodes eye color.
  • In this example, the allele is either brown, or blue, with one inherited from the mother, and the other inherited from the father.
  • The brown allele is dominant (B), and the blue allele is recessive (b).

What is AA genotype sickness?

Children with genotype AA (92.3%) were more susceptible to malaria parasite than AS (5.1%) and SS (2.6%). The association of haemoglobin genotype with malaria was highly significant (p<0.001).

Is AA a genotype?

What is a Genotype? There are four hemoglobin genotypes (hemoglobin pairs/formations) in humans: AA, AS, SS and AC (uncommon). SS and AC are the abnormal genotypes or the sickle cells. We all have a specific pair of these hemoglobin in our blood which we inherited from both parents.

Can O+ marry a+?

(1)Yes a female with A+ could get marry to guys with A+, A-,O+, and O-.

What is BB genotype?

An organism with two dominant alleles for a trait is said to have a homozygous dominant genotype. In our example, this genotype is written Bb. Finally, the genotype of an organism with two recessive alleles is called homozygous recessive. In the eye color example, this genotype is written bb.
