Both the dominant and the recessive allele of the genotype are expressed in the phenotype.
1 of 10
What are the two alleles for the haemoglobin gene?
Hb^A and Hb^S
2 of 10
What is the phenotype for the genotype Hb^A Hb^S
Sickle Cell Trait
3 of 10
A mother has sickle cell trait and a father has normal haemoglobin. State the possible phenotypes and genotypes of their children.
50% chance that the child will have normal haemoglobin (Hb^A Hb^A) 50% chance that the child will have sickle cell trait (Hb^A Hb^S)

How many antigens are there and where are they found?
There are two antigens; antigen A and antigen B. They are found on the plasma membrane of erythrocytes.
5 of 10
What antigen allele is recessive?
I^O is recessive to I^A and I^B.
6 of 10
