Explore the relationship between phenotype and genotype in blood typing using Punnett Squares. Learn about homozygous and heterozygous traits and how to calculate blood type probabilities using fractions. Practice problems and simulations included.

Punnett Square • Phenotype : This is the "outward, physical manifestation" of the organism. • Genotype : The genotype refers to the entire set of genes in a cell, an organism, or an individual • Homozygous refers to having identical alleles for a single trait • Heterozygous refers to having two different alleles for a single trait.
Punnett Square: Practice Problems • A set of parents think their baby was switched at the hospital. The mother is heterozygous A the father has homozygous B and the baby has blood type A. Could these be the baby’s parent?
Blood Probability Problems To determine the probability of a person with a particular combination of blood types, change the percentage to fractions and find their product and then multiply them. What is the probability of someone having AB+, M?
Blood Typing Simulation We will be determining blood types using Anti-A serums, Anti-B serums, and Anti-RH serums. Clumping = + (Positive) No Clumping = - (Negative) Agglutination is clumping together (usually referring to blood cells).
