This problem refers to the MN and ABO loci mentioned in class. It also refers to the Rh locus, which is responsible for the positive/negative part of the blood type. The Rh+ allele is dominant to the Rh- allele at this locus. Select all couples who could be the parents of a child with phenotype M, B- based on the phenotypes at these three loci. If none of these couples could be the parents of this child, select \"None of These\". Select one or more:

Mother Type M, A+ and Father Type N, B-

Mother Type MN, AB- and Father Type M, O-

Mother Type MN, B+ and Father Type N, O+

Mother Type MN, O+ and Father Type MN, A-

None of These. I think it could be answer choice b BUT I im not sure.

Solution

Yes, answer is choice B. ( Mother Type MN, AB- and Fatehr Type M, O-)

Since Rh+ allele is dominent over the Rh- allele, it is not possible that the B- child is produced from any Rh+ allele containing parents.

All other options are having parents with Rh+ allele so, the right answer is B.
