Biology SL 

Blood type  
➢ 4 possible phenotypes A, B, AB, 0 


Three different alleles that can produce 6 different genotypes 



The gene for the blood type is represented by the letter I (I and i) 



I​A ​: allele for producing proteins called ​type A antigens 


Gives type A blood 


I​A​ I​A ​or I​A​i  

➢ I​B​: allele for producing proteins called ​type B​ ​antigens 


Gives type B blood 


I​B​I​B ​or I​B​i 

➢ i: recessive allele that does not produce neither A nor B antigens 


Gives type 0 blood 


ii  

➢ When I​ I​ , then type AB blood, since A and B are codominant 
A​ B ​

➢ “+” and “-” are controlled by another gene 
➢ Blood type determines the surface of the red blood cells 


What carbohydrates there are on the surface 

 
Autosomal genetic disease 

➢ The locus of their gene is found on one of the first 22 pairs of chromosomes, and 
not on the sex chromosomes 
➢ Examples:  


Albinism  




Little or no pigmentation 

Cystic fibrosis  


Affected individuals produce excessive amounts of mucus 



Thalassemia  



Phenylketonuria (PKU) 



Tay Sachs disease 



Sickle cell disease and trait 

➢ A few autosomal genetic diseases are also coded for by a dominant allele 


Example: Huntington’s disease 


Affected individuals suffer worsening involuntary movement and 
dementia 



Disease breaks out at the age of 30-40

Mutations, genetic diseases and cancer 
➢ DNA is not supposed to be modified, but exposure to radiation or carcinogens can 
modify the code and cause serious health threats 
➢ Mutations can also occur due to an error in replication 
➢ Products with cancer-causing or mutagenic properties are restricted or forbidden 


Joint effect:​ using/being exposed to many different things that cause 
mutations or cancer that are not dangerous on their own, but become when 
used together 

➢ Radiation knocks one or more base pairs out of place modifying the genetic code 


Sometimes they can be benign, but others are harmful 

➢ Large amounts of radiation leaked in the Hiroshima bombing (1945), the Chernobyl 
(1986) and Fukushima (2011) incidents 


Radiation can still be detected in those places 



Nature seems to be doing fine, but there are animals and plants whose DNA 
has been modified 



Cancer studies have shown an increase in cancer frequency in people who 
lived 30 km from the reactor
